ACA made this bed

Wed., March 18, 2015

I was a member of the United Food and Commercial Workers for years. And the retail clerks before that (I’m still in a union).

Recently, I heard a radio commercial that covered peace and social justice and, oh yeah, a 40-hour work week. Turns out this message was really a campaign ad by the grocery workers union. They want 40-hour work weeks.

Gosh! The politicians they voted for, the politicians they paid for, the politicians that would not accept any amendments from the Republicans, those politicians passed the Affordable Care Act, and now the union has the gall to whine and cry about the results?

These are your votes, your policies, your politicians.
