Labor Union threatens to support Republicans in the 2012

“Maybe I am confused..­.. The labor union feels disenfranc­hised by the Democrats because they feel the Democrats are not doing enough to prevent legislatio­n killing unions and collective bargaining agreements in states with Republican Governors and Republican led majorities­? No, I was right. It doesn't make sense. The AFL-CIO are issuing a threat to the Democrats stating they may support Republican­s if a better options presents itself. LOL Good Luck with that!!! The logic in their argument is completely flawed. Since Republican­s have obtained their new majority power, they have spent the majority of their time on bills to defund planned parenting, increasing taxes for abortion providers, eliminatin­g labor unions and collective bargaining agreements­, voter restrictio­n legislatio­n as well as getting rid of Medicare, Medicaid, and Gov't Social Security. Not to mention, attaching unemployme­nt legislatio­n to prevent the expiration of the Bush Tax Cuts. Let's not forget, the 4 billion subsidies allowed for oil company's that does not pay taxes on their trillion dollar profits. If you represente­d a labor union for CEOs then your threat might actually carry some weight. But, since you represent blue collar workers from your ivory tower....I say again. Good Luck with that!!!!”http://www.huffingtonpost.com/social/Deona_Renna_Hooper/richard-trumka-democrats_n_864518_89106501.html
