They pretend they have power because in non right to work States they have a lot of union members, but those members have no choice and half of them, if not more, will vote how they want, not how they are told. I expect only the foreign workers the union helps get jobs for vote how they are told.

They still can’t “tell” Congress to do anything...:^))

Repeal Zerocare...place all displaced insurees immediately on Medicaid and cover until all individuals can be interviewed and placed appropriately. Gotta be cheaper than Scamocare.

Yes, a Communist criminal goon. He is dedicated to the CPUSA. Walter Ruether and the other AFL-CIO leaders who kept the communists out of the labor movement have probably been spinning in their graves since Trumka and his commie goons took over their labor union.

It is not the AFL-.CIO’s decision to make. They need to stick to their extortion operation.

They keep touting "20 Million will lose their healthcare!" Well........the other 330 Million are suffering because of those 20M (probably illegals)?? When I lost my healthcare 3 years ago, I was paying $220/mo with a $1500 deductible through my work. Thanks to Obamacare, the cheapest insurance I could find was $672/mo with a $6800 deductible. I had to go solo and pay out of pocket.
I say repeal the whole dang thing and let the free market determine the costs.

Nope.
No need. Government should not be in the healthcare busines.

The AFL-CIO should be ignored completely.
1. Repeal with no replacement, so we have more leverage in any negotiations if we decide to replace it.
2. My vote is replace it with economic freedom. Alternatively, replace that evil and destructive law with a few of its most popular paragraphs only, but no “comprehensive” replacement.

I ‘member as a little kid saying to my Dad I had told him to do something. He said, “You don’t tell me to do anything, you ask me. I tell you what to do.” Somehow I understood that at 3, yet Trumka still doesn’t get it.

First thing I would do is revoke all of the exemptions granted and scare the crap out of all of them.

Why should the Unions care? They collected money for years to provide health coverage. They should have Billions in the bank right now just for that purpose.
Or is it not a crime when Union thugs embezzle pensions?

No surprise here...Trumpka is a typical detestable union thug. Who the hell does he think he is “telling” congress.
