Union Leaderships Negotiates Health Care with Washington: Making Deals with the Devil!

Thursday January 14, 2010 Investor.com reported union leaders negotiated a tax exemption for the membership on their health care plans. The article went on to say, “Call it what it is: a bribe to cronies in an increasingly corrupt overhaul. With Nebraska winning "free" coverage of its Medicare costs in the Senate version of the bill, and Louisiana getting a tax exemption of its own, what's one more bone to a favored political group on a bill Democrats are determined to pass no matter what?”

Richard Trumka President of The AFL-CIO in a speech Monday said; “This is a policy designed to benefit elites, like the ones that the executives at Goldman Sachs have, the $40,000 policies.” Well at least my Union Leadership knows how to play the class warfare card even better than Washington does.

The Union Leadership should know you can’t make a deal with the Devil. Back in January 2009, Washington came after my job by, demonizing corporate jets. I went to work every day and said, “The powers that be put another nail in the coffin”. Even the Union Leaders said, “We voted for Obama. Why is he killing our industry”? The private aircraft industry will not recover for years from the Obama administration playing the class warfare card.

When will the Union Leadership realize if you sleep with dogs, you are going to get fleas? Washington has never kept its word on anything. Why should they keep it with the Unions?
