Late October, Kaiser laid off 84 non-union employees, which they called a "modest downsizing of staff" in Southern California.
United Steel Workers Local 7600 President Roy Wiles spent his Friday notifying employees they no longer had a job with Kaiser. The union represents clerical, patient care and service workers in the Inland Empire.
The point of the story is the layoffs. Yet, I can’t help but wonder why the steel worker’s union represents clerks.
The workers will be replaced with SEIU union workers as soon as that part of the Obamacare law goes into effect.
” Kaiser officials said they have undertaken a series of layoffs to ensure they meet possible changes that could occur with the implementation of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act”
Layoffs, the only way to meet the changes brought on by Obamacare.
“which aims to make sure every American has health care coverage”
But no job and no care.
Oh well elections have consequences...more pain comming. If they are planning on invading Texas, Texas really doesn’t do the Union game well in both public and private sectors. I hate to see folks lose jobs, but Obama needs to do more damage to get the Lemmings to start screaming for a savior. Sadily he will require some fundamental changes before help is rationed out.

Clinton Community College - Faces Layoffs in 2013-14
Update: Memorial Medical Center Ca. - 114
Update: Kaiser Permanente S. CA. - Confirms 530
But, I thought under Obamacare Health services was supposed to be the new growth industry. /s
Hmm, union jobs at Permanente not quite so permanent after all, eh?
.
Why does the insurance company have to lay off employees because of obammacare? It would seem that there is more work required for obammacare:
PS: Never forget obammacare was doomed until turncoat USSC Justice John Roberts switched his vote! Shame on him!!
Don’t you just love it! The United Steelworkers are like leeches. They killed the US Steel plant in Fontana, CA years ago and then migrated from that corpse to the Kaiser hospital where they are in the process of sucking the blood out of that business too. I just hope that these worthless bastards get their “fair share” of the pain and suffering that their “mentor” FUBO is bringing to us all.
