Kids who have epileptic seizures need immediate care. A bill by GOP Senator Bob Huff would allow this. "That's why Fatheree is all for Senate Bill 1051, which acknowledges the statewide shortage of school nurses and would allow non-medical campus personnel to administer a life-saving drug to children who suffer seizures."
But, the bill, though needed by sick kids, will not pass. "One day, a Democratic senatorial aide explained the holdup to Fatheree.
"The exact words were, 'This bill would be a lot easier for the senator to support if it had a Democratic author.' "
Translation:
It doesn't matter how much sense the bill makes. It's opposed by several powerful labor unions that grease the palms of Democrats, including the California Teachers Assn. and California Nurses Assn. To mask their true agenda, which is to protect nursing jobs and avoid additional duties for teachers, the unions argue that a seizure is too serious a matter to be handled by non-medical staff."
Unions prefer kids die then allow a Republican to pass a bill to save lives.
Unions are sick--why do we tolerate them?
