I can't imagine having the hubris to tell my boss I need a raise ... retroactive to 2008. They are waiting for the next mayor to make them all lottery winners.

Easy solution. Tell the union they can keep their money or healthcare but not both.

When they go on strike, remove healthcare from their contract since Obamacare will take care of them.

When they squeal televise it.
