Obama To Labor Unions With Multi-Employer Health Plans: Drop Dead
Quote:
Well played, Mr. President.
Last week, prior to the big AFL-CIO convention in Los Angeles, President Obama personally spoke to AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka, asking him to water down several anti-Obamacare resolutions that union leaders were planning to pass there. Trumka obliged, keeping calls to repeal Obamacare out of the official AFL-CIO resolution on the health law.
Then, on Friday evening, after the convention was over, the Obama administration revealed that it would ignore unions? demands to subsidize their members using Obamacare. As a result, some unions fear that they will wither away. ?I guarantee you by your next convention four years from now, you won?t meet a quarter of this room,? said Joseph Nigro, president of the Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Union. ?We won?t be here.?
