Last Thursday, representatives of three of the nationâs largest unions fired off a letter to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, warning that Obamacare would âshatter not only our hard-earned health benefits, but destroy the foundation of the 40 hour work week that is the backbone of the American middle class.â
The letter was penned by James P. Hoffa, general president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters; Joseph Hansen, international president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union; and Donald âD.â Taylor, president of UNITE-HERE, a union representing hotel, airport, food service, gaming, and textile workers.
âWhen you and the President sought our support for the Affordable Care Act,â they begin, âyou pledged that if we liked the health plans we have now, we could keep them. Sadly, that promise is under threatâ¦We have been strong supporters of the notion that all Americans should have access to quality, affordable health care. We have also been strong supporters of you. In campaign after campaign we have put boots on the ground, gone door-to-door to get out the vote, run phone banks and raised money to secure this vision. Now this vision has come back to haunt us.â
