Columbus, Ohio SEIU Members On Strike Over Cuts as a Result of ObamaCare –Image: Media Trackers Ohio(Washington Examiner) Members of the Chicago based ‘Service Employees Intl Union’ (SEIU) Local 1, have gone on-strike over recent job cuts by janitorial company “Professional Maintenance.”
Tyler French SEIU Local 1 Organizing Director told Media Trackers Ohio the company said they had to cut their employees hours due to ObamaCare mandates.
French did not believe ‘Professional Maintenance’ explanation saying, “I think the health care act is the latest excuse that corporations are using to try and save money.”
Other unions have been warning that such actions will be a direct consequence of President Obama’s health care law.
On the 12th July, The Wall Street Journal published a scathing letter from Teamsters President James P Hoffa, Joseph Hansen, Intl President UFCW and D. Taylor, President Unite-Here, to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reminding them that they have been strong supporters for Democrats “In campaign after campaign,” adding that unless changes are made to ObamaCare it “will destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the back bone of the American middle class.”
If that’s not bad enough the Affordable Unaffordable Care Act if not modified will “destroy the very health and well being of our members along with millions of other hardworking Americans,” the Teamsters wrote.
