Unions Upset With Obamacare

Just how much will unions swallow for party loyalty? Will they sell out their own membership?

The AFL-CIO, the nation's largest labor federation, and the Service Employees International Union both expressed deep disappointment with the Senate bill. It omits a government-run insurance plan sought by liberals, and includes a tax on high-cost insurance plans that unions fear will hurt their members.

SEIU President Andy Stern scolded Obama, saying the president should remember his campaign promise to bring change to America. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said the Senate bill "bends toward the insurance industry."

I'm betting that party loyalty will win. The unions care far less about their membership than empowering Democrats.
