The devil turning on the devil. I love it. "Unite Here" was the very first union to endorse Senator Obama in 2008. How is that working out for them? This is what the article said:

The Affordable Care Act will shift workers from union insurance to the more expensive Obamacare health exchanges, costing them up to half of their pay to cover premiums.

The best way to get rid of a bad law is to fully implement it.
Eat your peas, union!

I wonder how it feels to be cannon fodder for the Left’s war on America?

[Beagle8U]

Serves them right.

[kiryandil]

Fear not, fellow peasants!

The health care coverage of Our High Lord & King President MomJeans is in NO danger!

Looks like these low wage people were happy enough with their sub-standard health plans. Cue the stark raving mad loony Ezekiel Emanuel to explain to them how Obama care is better for them.

*****Ezekiel Emanuel- who has seen this buffoon on TV? Its hilarious. This guy thinks he is a genius but he comes off as a loon just by his hyped up mannerisms

[gettinolder]

Useful Idiots.

[GOPJ]

Unions pushed for this horror... guess they thought they had a way out... and the rest of us would be stuck with it.

I remember in high school learning a theory called “malicious obedience”.

This could be a great opportunity.

Smart guy, huh?

Well, at least we now know why Obama wants to raise the minimum wage. Union contracts tied to it will see their workers salaries increase, which will make up for the lost wages due to Obamacare.

If you like your $5 per hour wage cut, you can keep your $5 per hour wage cut. Keep the actual $5? Not so much.

More important, it will slash the standard of living for those below a certain skill set and value because those jobs will all be part time. These people will have to work at multiple part time jobs to pay their bills, those jobs will have no benefits and they will spend much more on commuting expensese.

Thanks libs! The secular utopia you promised to low information voters is almost here!

“Only in Washington could asking the bottom of the middle class to finance health care for the poorest families be seen as reducing inequality,” said the report from Unite Here.

This was 100% predictable, and in fact was predicted, over and over again. But these dumchits took Obastard's slick word over ours, so here we are. The LIVs are dragging us down with them.

[Cyber Liberty]

They are cutting all the low rungs off the ladder, they can see it, and they still call us liars for pointing it out. I wish there were a way of making them suffer without damaging all of us.

[NativeSon]

they’re just regressing to the mean...

[McGruff]

The democrats lose the unions and this could make 1994 look pale in comparison to 2014 and 2016.

This was 100% predictable, and in fact was predicted, over and over again. But these dumchits took Obastard's slick word over ours, so here we are. The LIVs are dragging us down with them.

The LIVs thought that they were gonna get something for free. LIVs believed that "the rich" were gonna be made to pay!!!

Nothing else mattered after that, nothing more said was heard.

[I still care]

Believe me, this union will totally turn around if only they get an exemption.
