AFL-CIO Nevada Passes Resolution to Openly Criticize Obama Administration Over Obamacare
Townhall ^ | 8/23/13 | Katie Pavlich

Posted on 08/22/2013 3:30:35 PM PDT by Libloather

A month ago leaders from three major labor unions, Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa, UFCW President Joseph Hansen and UNITE-HERE President D. Taylor, wrote a scathing letter to the Obama administration about how Obamacare will destroy the 40 hour work week for hardworking Americans. The letter called for the administration to "fix" what was broken and had a strong tone of regret when it came to supporting President Obama and the re-election of pro-Obamacare Democrats.

Now, the AFL-CIO in Nevada has passed a resolution to openly criticize the Obama administration over Obamacare, again stressing the situation needs to be fixed by the very people who created it. The resolution is a result of union concerns being ignored.

That sucks as well. Middle paragraph should be -

Time is running out: Congress wrote this law; we voted for you. We have a problem; you need to fix it. The unintended consequences of the ACA are severe. Perverse incentives are already creating nightmare scenarios.

The unintended consequences of the ACA are severe.

Pelosi said "we have to pass the bill to see what's in it."

And the labor unions barked like trained seals on their little conical balancing stands.

The irony is that the Nevada unions helped ensure the democrats nominated Obama in the first place.

All Democrats passed this, so don’t back Democrats.

Will they learn that lesson? Never IMO.

I will say this in balance... Fox News reported that 42% of all Union members in the USA vote republican. Now if that is true... there are some good Americans in that bunch. I know exactly who and what the leaders are... and I guess that 42% of their membership do too.

It seems useful idiots never consider their fate once their usefulness has expired. Too often, so do they.

This is funny! The democrats have got voter fraud down to the point where they don’t even need union votes anymore. The fraud ain’t funny but telling the union to go stuff it is funny as hell.

Apparently the unions thought they didn’t have to worry about “what was in it” until they passed it. They just assumed their democrat buddies would take care of them.

And you can bet your donkey's posterior that they will NOT back Republican or Conservatives no matter what!! Just making him an "Offer he can't refuse." IMHO

I belong to a union and am a member of that 42% and I do what I can daily to try to wake up my fellow brothers (and some sisters) to who and what the democrats truly are. I have to admit that it's an uphill battle but one worth fighting.

On a side note, that 42% number is on the low side. At least in my local anyway...

Criticizing His Arrogance, the Great Leader, openly could have serious consequences .... remember Hoffa....
