What is funny about this is that he unions were all on board with Obama care when it was being railroaded through congress. They were too stupid to read the bill or to think about what it meant before they helped to pass it. In that sense they are getting what they deserve. Sadly- Innocent American are being punished too.

Obamacare Will ‘Destroy the Very Health And Wellbeing of Our Members’

It might actually be worth it, then.

They are finally reading it and not liking what they are finding in it.

Too bad somebody didn’t read the damn thing before they passed it.

But, hey, y’all can trust Nancy. It will be good for you. It won’t taste any worse than a spoonful of caster oil. [/s]

This is not just crying over spilled milk ... it’s more calculated than it seems.

Some years ago a friend of a friend of mine was staring up a restaurant in a union hotel. He was simultaneously negotiating with the union and trying to drum up investors. The union rep was perfectly reasonable until the most important potential investor walked into the restaurant. Foolishly, they had told the rep how important the investor was. Whereupon she started screaming, literally screaming that they were trying to steamroll her and etc etc until they hastily promised whatever perk she was negotiating for at that time to quiet her down and prevent the investor from fleeing, leaving everyone out of a job.

The lesson is, they have excellent timing and they are willing to bring down the whole ship unless they get what they want.

Here, what they are angling for is that the government will subsidize their cadillac health plans by giving their members the same price cap that they would have gotten on the exchanges. Then everyone will want to join a union because they will get a much better plan than on the exchange, at the same price. These letters are a shot across the Administration’s bow, early enough to threaten to screw up the 2014 elections for the Democrats without actually doing it ... yet. When the Democrats get depserate they will gladly spend whatever it takes (out of our pockets) to stop the screaming. This will surely involve some convoluted finding that union plans are somehow eligible for the exchange subsidy / price cap.

Who is to blame? Was it just Obama pushing for it?

Last Thursday, in remarkably blunt language, the heads of three major labor unions – James Hoffa of the Teamsters, Joseph Hansen of UFCW, and Donald “D.” Taylor of UNITE-HERE — wrote a letter to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid denouncing Obamacare’s impact on employer-sponsored health insurance. Some of the highlights:

My theory is that this criticism is by design. The unions are giving Obama and the other Marxists an excuse to get out of Obamacare without upsetting the Left.

I have wondered where Union opposition was!

Union leaders have sold out their members.

The unions paid for nobamacare. Now they want their money back? Guess they didn’t read the part about this being a “where is, as is” deal. Perhaps Pelosi can point out that section of the law for them.

Well, like DUH. The unions got Obamacare, but they're now reading the bill to find out what's in it and they don't like it? Welcome to the party you flippin’ a**holes. Screwed by your own Democraps — it's called Karma, baby.

>> “the Very Health And Wellbeing of Our Members”

A coincidence of interests, but it’s still about the members as far as the union is concerned with seemingly little if any regard for the Country as a whole.
