Have to cross this picket line

Well, I'm not in your shoes, nor am I trying to tell you what you should or should not do. But I really don't think I would cross that picket line. But that is just me.

 

Yeah...Teamster are all for the Obama plan...until they have to help pay for it. What, did they think they were going to get off scot free?

I thought premiums were supposed to go down with that new law...that was one of the selling points to get people on board with it. Did I miss something?

Cross that picket line proudly and hold your head up doing it. They made their bed, now it's time to sleep in it.

 

Just another example that the Unions continue to destroy this Country!

 

Not the way it ended up. It was and is a free ticket to the insurance companies to charge whatever they want and it is business as usual with the exception they have to cover everyone and pre existing. It also allows them to charge whatever.

Our lives have been sold to corporate america.

 

I know when I worked in the accounting field, the employer paid 100% of the employees cost of the insurance. It was not a union, but it was a nice perk.

How many truck companies do it?

I cannot blame the teamsters for wanting this for the employees. However, it should stop there and the cost of the family is from the employee, not employer.

 

That's my point. Unions always want more, more, more. Just like that spoiled kid in the grocery store. More is never enough for the unions. And this is a fine example of just that.

Mr. Roadmedic, at what point will people begin to take some responsibility for themselves? It's not an employer's job to pay for health care. They only have to provide an opportunity to access it. With the passage of that law, premiums are going up. The company may have only two choices: pass it on to the union that was so gung-ho for this debacle or fire employees and expect more from those remaining. Or fold and close its doors. Then nobody has a job.
