Tying medical coverage also keeps wages down. A public option that would reduce cost of business would mean all unions could take the pay instead of the benefits when push comes to shove (I'm an AFSCME member as well UFCW 21)

Well I hope every damn illegal is shipped the hell out, its not AMERICAN, hmmm.. I wonder why unemployment is so high, and I want to know why I'm starting to lose faith in my union, is it ran by the company I work for?

It sound to me like you are not clear on the issue. Unions are not the people that hire these works its our job once the employer hires them to make sure that they are treated as any other union member. Again if the company would do their job right we would not have this problem. Just remember that every amercan family decended from another country... Read More. So please dont bash unions for doing its job put the blame were it belongs goverment for ignoring the issue and big companys for not doing its job again
