10,000 Las Vegas Casino Workers Might Go On Strike Because Of Obamacare
I guess they're not saving $2500 like they were promised.
Quote:WASHINGTON — Contract negotiations are stalled for thousands of workers at casinos on the Strip and in downtown Las Vegas to the point where they may go on strike — and the sticking point is Obamacare.
On Feb. 20, thousands of housekeepers, porters, cooks, cocktail servers, and others represented by Nevada’s largest union, the Culinary Union Local 226, voted to end a contract extension the workers agreed to last summer. The union wants to maintain its current benefits — including health care coverage at no cost to workers, pensions, and guaranteed 40-hour workweeks.
Rising health care costs due to provisions in the Affordable Care Act could put those benefits in jeopardy, the union says.
“The biggest hurdle to reaching settlements in Vegas is the new costs imposed on our health plan by Obamacare,” Donald “D” Taylor, president of Unite Here, the parent union of CU Local 226, told BuzzFeed in a statement. “Even though the president and Congress promised we could keep our health plan, the reality is, unless the law is fixed, that won’t be true.”

Obama has already exempted many unions from his stellar healthcare program. I would expect whatever Obama has to take from hard working, non union tax payers to cover the cost of this union will be done.

my first thought as well, 10,000 or more potential votes in hack harrys home state? No doubt they'll cave to the union thugs once again.

This is hilarious! I have an ultra-liberal relative in Vegas that thought Obamacare was the answer to all her problems. Well...she's thinking of voting Republican in this year's elections and in 2016. Wonder how many others will also? Oh yeah, Obama and Co. have a track record of exempting their union friends. Will probably just exempt these guys too.
Wish I could get an exemption, Barry. Oh, right, I'm just a white-bread cracker honkey American citizen who doesn't belong to any special-interest groups. Guess I'm SOL!

If the shoe fits.
“That's just how white folks will do you. It wasn't merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn't know they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserved of their scorn.”

That means absolutely nothing. You're still as racist as they get, no matter how hard you try to spin it back on me.
