Wrap: The lawsuit aims to prevent unionization of Missouri Home Care workers.
Owner of Integrity Home Care Phil Melugin says the union is unfair because it was created by a few and not the majority.
But Graham says without improvements in working conditions and benefits, home care workers often have to take second jobs which diminishes the care they provide.
