#3 they'll make it up once the illegal are legalized...remember, the Dems have to create new underclasses to stay in power.

#4 Eat it, damn unions were renegotiating health benefits within hours of this stone passing; knew it all along.

End mandatory union fees now; the right to assemble is also the right to not assemble.

And to pro-union people, what this Obamacare law did was finalize the unionization of all workers, effectively destroying unions. Grab a book, it is SOP, and now instead Unions - which have now overserved their mission - the new caste system will be full timers/part timers/no timers, and a whole series of small businesses being run by not ready for prime time managers, like tripling the number of pro baseball teams overnight there is not the talent pool or cultural resources for such a thing.

They will keep doing the "oh, just one more hill" game for years out until you are gone. Bet a box of twinkies that this immigration bill as a paragraph about expanding hauling rights for Mexico truckers. As the VP would say, your making your own noose, Jack.

#5 Took them a long time to figure it out.

#6 Just as the Congressional Black Caucus has discovered the amnesty bill will kill any job prospects in their community for those with low skill abilities. This with the Union people.

Well, when you sell your soul to one party machine, this eventually arrives, along with that understanding that you've been used all along to further the agenda of the ruling caste and are no longer useful in their accumulation of power.

The Koolaid stand is over there

#7 No, they are in the Political caste and in CYA mode.

A person working in an industry should have the option to be or not to be in a union, and if an individual is forced to join an organization, their income should not be additionally taxed without permission.

I think it would actually benefit the union members to have their boosters have to perform and justify their budget.

#8 Wasn't it the unions who DESIGNED this monster?

I remember the DNC-Union secret meetings in the middle of the night (to which no notes were taken and the American public were forbidden to know the details of.).

Of course they don't want a repeal - they want a special exemption.

#9 The unions have been behind the ACA from the beginning. They partnered with the Dems. One word in early 2009 from these unions and the Dems in the House and Senate would have frozen into place.

#10 Unions have been bragging for years about how they were the ones who gave America the 40 hour week. Now, we will have the 28 hour week. America is making progress!!

#11 they're pissed because the exemptions they got for their support don't last long enough.

#12 Hmmm, Democrats on one side and unions on the other,
Don't Dem's and Unions usually go hand in hand?

Having them fight is GOOD for us the people.
And bad for Obama.

#13 now, if they can both lose, then America will win.
