The chief of the national hotel workers union is “bitterly disappointed” with the Affordable Care Act — and he decided this week to meet with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), a longtime opponent of the bill.
Donald “D” Taylor, the general president of the Las Vegas-based UNITE HERE, met with the Senate Minority leader for a private meeting Tuesday that reportedly touched on the union’s grievances with President Obama’s signature health care law, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal.
McConnell confirmed that the two met in the nation’s capital, adding that it was Taylor who requested the get-together.
“It was a fairly brief meeting but it’s safe to say this is a good example of some of the president’s union constituents who were very enthusiastically for him who think Obamacare has been a disaster for them,” McConnell said after the meeting.
The Kentucky Republican added that Taylor did not get into the specifics of his complaints against the Affordable Care Act, but he said the meeting was an “exchange of pleasantries.”
A spokeswoman for the union leader told the Review Journal Tuesday that Taylor had indeed travelled to the nation’s capital, but she would not confirm if he had additional meetings in Washington.
Taylor did not meet with Senate Majority Leader and Obamacare supporter Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), a spokesperson with the senator’s office confirmed.

The gelatinous chin quivered and agreed that the Tea Party needed to be fought on obamneycare, and that more carve outs for the unions would be forthecoming.
My reps don’t return phone calls let alone meet with taxpayers they represent only money and the union label get meetings.
Bosses meet Mafia wars to ensue.
Just an effort by the leftist to protect their stooge’s seat.
Jimmy Hoffa may be a history repeat, by a different name.
You can guarantee they were shoveling BS at each other. The unions will never get behind Republicans (even sell out RINOs like Mitch [Harry’s bitch] McConnell.
Only when it suits them. It might amaze you how many union voters find time to vote McConnell IN THE PRIMARY.
and he decided this week to meet with Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), a longtime opponent of the bill.
REALLY?????
My guess is McConnell is trying to get Democrap votes to help his sagging polls and keep his skeletal old claws anchored in the throat of the GOP Senatorial leadership position.
Mr. Taylor, you, your henchmen, cronies, political partners, etc, etc, supported, backed, voted for and pushed this line of crap on America. Now that it doesn’t suit you, you want something different. If you had listened to people who KNEW what this would do instead of toeing the political line, you would likely have a leg to stand on.
You not only asked for it, you begged, demanded, threatened, and coerced in order to get it.
It’s yours. Unfortunately, it’s mine as well, but at least I can proudly say, “I told you so”.
You can kiss my ass.

They all know the foreign-agent Soebarkah racket is blown.
Lid pops off in March.
GOP looking for mafia protection from upcoming Treason trials.
Congress, FBI, CIA all belong in prison.
Only if they register as Republicans. We don’t have open primaries.
Open primaries are totally contrary to the idea of a two party system. Stupid and corrupt.
I do believe I’d rather be ruled by Tony Soprano than by the current crop in Washington.
At least I could understand T’s rules.
The same amount of time and I bet close to the same amount of money too.
If only it could be true.
"Lid pops off in March. "
Why can't the lid pop off now? Let's talk on the 31st.
"GOP looking for mafia protection from upcoming Treason trials. "
Almost all treasonous whores for sure, but... somehow I think they've covered their butts.
"Congress, FBI, CIA all belong in prison. "
True dat but you forgot NSA, EPA, IRS, et al - along with "some prominent names we'd all recognize". And most of the media.
