First came the news that 40,000 Longshoremen have quit the AFL-CIO because they have finally figured out that Richard “Fifth Amendment” Trumpka and his gang has been screwing them. The final wakeup call came with Trumpka’s support of both Obamacare and amnesty disguised as “immigration reform.” The dockworkers have come to recognize this two headed monster will destroy them and they opted to vote for a break from union control with their feet.
While the official reasons for the mass pull out sound like these men are leaving because the AFL-CIO isn’t liberal enough, don’t believe it for a minute.

They decided the only way to get the taxes they thought they were owed was to run it. It ran in the red continuously until the IRS finally gave it up...The government could not make a profit selling alcohol and p*ssy. Imagine that.
A parasite can only be sustained if the host lives. Our economy is putrefied—even stupid people can smell it.
These guys didn’t leave the UNION.
Their union left the AFL-CIO.
These are the folks that make 100 grand a year unloading the cheap stuff from China.
Don’t be fooled, this is part of the effort to win waivers from Obama for Obamacare for all groups who backed the Obamacare legislation.
