[QUOTE="Atomic_Smurf, post: 1188816, member: 46684"] I don't think siding with the party thats screwing us out of our healthcare benefits is the lesser of the evils. RTW is hardly an comparable offense on the opposing side considering the facts. If Republicans were screwing us out of our earned benefits with some crappy legislation they has rammed through, our union leaders would be loading members onto busses to go to Washington to march around the capital & scream profanities. I know Hoffa has officially come out against Obamacare but where's the action the outrage? Whats the other option? Spending more on organizing & less on politicians that sell working people down the river, all working people, not just unions. Supporting legislation that only helps unions is bad PR. We need the public on our side when push come to shove & right now we don't have that. Unions were the most enthusiastic supporters of the ACA & first to cry for exemptions from the law. How does that look the public who's support we need? Democrats make special promises for unions & they take the bait every time. It divides the working class & does more to hurt organizing efforts in the long run. A little common sense from our leadership would go a long way. [/QUOTE]
