The union that represents hotel, airport, casino and textile employees is worried that their respective employers' cost for Obamacare will hurt their efforts to garner significant wage increases during their next contract negotiations. These are the same middle class American workers who marched, demonstrated and voted for Obama to get the affordable health care proposal passed into law. This means that a few years ago this union group was so pissed about the lack of health care insurance coverage paid by their employers they did something about it. Now, they are angry about getting health care coverage because the accomplishment, they believe, will compromise another unmet desire...wages. This is a sad reality for working class Americans; they may get a slight hourly wage bump or maybe some health care coverage but they ain't gettin' both. It simply does not work that way. 'Boss man' is going to grab you by the tender parts and squeeze out their profit margin!!! If more Scott Walkers are elected Governors the 'union-contract negotiation-process' will likely go the way of the Condor.
Do those union workers really believe that corporate America gives a rat's ass about workers financial circumstance, albeit health insurance or wages versus their own profit? If so what's up with the boy who lost his job pumping your gas? What's up with all those freaking self-checkout lanes at Walmart; where did that nice middle-aged cashier lady go? If washing my hands frequently, during the flu season, is such sound medical advise THEN why the hell does my Doctor's office have one of those self-sign-in machines where sick-ass people place their flu-germ-ridden hands on an ID plate? The answer to these questions is simple...subtract a job and realize more profit!!!.
I always wondered: If you "can't have your cake and eat it too;" why the hell bake the cake?
