Top Labor Union Rips Obamacare: “If It’s Not Fixed… Then It Needs To Be Repealed”
I Won
From CNS:
(CNSNews.com) – Terry O’Sullivan, president of the 600,000-plus-member Laborers’ International Union of North America (LiUNA), often referred to as the Laborers’ Union, said that if Obamacare is not fixed, then “it needs to be repealed.”
At a convention in Las Vegas of the AFL-CIO, with which the Laborers’ Union is affiliated, O’Sullivan took to the podium to endorse a proposition and then launched into a criticism of Obamacare, how it is hurting union members’ health coverage, and demanded it be fixed, adding that if it is not fixed, labor will make the issue a “big fricking deal.”
“If the Affordable Care Act is not fixed, and it destroys the health and welfare funds that we have all fought for and stand for, then I believe it needs to be repealed,” said O’Sullivan. “We don’t want it repealed, we want it fixed, fixed, fixed, and I commend Richard Trumka and the AFL-CIO for leading that charge. ”
Trumka is the president of the AFL-CIO, a national federation of labor unions with 11.5 million members. The Laborers’ Union was founded in 1903, and its members do a lot of work in construction, highway, and infrastructure work across the country. O’Sullivan became president of LiUNA in 1999.
He continued, “We can’t have the unintended consequences for the proud men and women that we represent to be collateral damage in the health care fight in this country. We’re getting our ass kicked here, there, and everywhere when it comes to retirement security -- and now our health and welfare funds are under siege.
