Obama Gives Unions a 'Massive Payback' with Executive Order, Contractors Claim

One guy with a shovel.....12 supervisors looking on.

[cajungirl]

Is this constitutional? Those non union guys don’t get the union pensions and are forced to pay into the union pensions.

This ought to be challenged in court.

Campaign finance reform is a joke when this kind of bribe-taking is legal.

This is why I look for the “Made in China” label.

[Brilliant]

Aren’t they required by law to accept the contractor with the lowest bid and doesn’t that pretty much tie Obamas hands? Is it an impeachable offense to ignore that law?

[nolongerademocrat]

OMG please don’t let me say what I’m thinking. We need to start kicking the legs out from under his little happy stool.

Not if the requirement is changed by the Prez or Congress.

[Oceander]

And this surprises exactly how many of us? Y'know, I fail to see why the SEIU wants to start up a third party (as they're doing in N.C., apparently), they already own the democrat party lock, stock, and thievery.

Gee, ya think this will make State & Local construction projects even more expensive? No problem, the bankrupt municipalities will simply pass the cost on to the taxpayer. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Obama is OWNED by the Unions...especially SEIU and AFL-CIO.....THUGS HANG TOGETHER and support each other.

[Thermalseeker]

The Massachusetts offshore wind farm boondoggle is another huge bone thrown to unions. Obamalamadingdong’s minions couldn’t have chosen a more expensive place to build a money wasting project. Plus, it pisses off the Kennedy’s. What a twofer!

[SonOfDarkSkies]

If impeachable offenses were written on toilet paper, Obama would not merely have clogged the WH loo, he would have overwhelmed the treatment plant.

This must be another one of Obama's additions to the Alinsky rules. Break so many frikken laws, your opponents don't even no where to start...so they just sit there dumbfounded.

[madball]

The requirements would be written into the bid documents. It cannot be enforced after a contract award if it wasn’t in the Request For Proposal.
And yes, it will raise the cost of the project. Which, of course, the taxpayers pay.

It is well to remember that at best, unions are terrorist organizations.

A non union subcontractor who follows the rules is very likely to have his work sabotaged or equipment destroyed or any of several other very costly sabotage efforts.

There will be no attempt to solve the crimes.

Unions are evil .....pure and simple.

[MosesKnows]

Is this constitutional?

Have you ever noticed consideration of the Constitution as a factor in the events of Obama's administration? Why would he start now?
