SEIU unionists strike over Obamacare-related cuts
Washington Examiner ^ | September 27, 2013 | Sean Higgins

Members of the Chicago-based Service Employees International Union Local 1 have gone on strike over recent job cuts by a janitorial company called Professional Maintenance.

The reason for the cuts? The employer says it is because of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. This is ironic since SEIU is a major supporter of the law.

Isn’t that called poetic justice?

Hoist with their own petard. Shakespeare said it, and it is just as true today.

The most painful injuries are almost always self-inflicted.

Bleed and die, M***********s (in the best Bruce Willis characterization)

Many people say certain things are ironic when they are not really all that ironic.

THIS, however, is ironic.

PS - Dear SEIU: Eat sh!t and die.

Dear SEIU,

YOU stomped your feet, stood and made a whole lot of noise, to get the President that YOU wanted into office.

However, I am sorry to say that the store shelves have run out of petroleum jelly, and YOU will just have to suffer YOUR own consequences, er, raw!

Ah, more galactic ignorance from the Purple People Beaters in the SEIU.

If union workers had an IQ higher than room temperature in Celsius, they might be fighting for Free Obama Food as you need food way more than you need health insurance.

If only the public and private sector would learn, ANY socialist program eventually becomes oppressive.

Employer supplied Health Insurance was a scam and dodge from the day it was created to get around government imposed wage controls. Gee, once again government was he source of the problem.

Now we are hooked on the addictive gimmie, gimmie, gimmie mentality that somehow your employer is responsible for your health care.

How childish! Why not demand, in your bitchy little communist union voices, that all business and the public sector be responsible to pay for food, car, housing, clothes,...Oh, oh, oh, and how about they should be made to pay your TAXES?????? Yikes just what a wonderful world it would be.

Operation hummingbird is better known as the night of the long knives when Hitler’s street radicals were no longer useful and needed to be eliminated.
