One of the most predictable features of American politics is the
biannual blackmail to which the Democrats are subjected by their
union bosses. Knowing that “the Party of Jefferson and Jackson”
cannot survive without their support, union goons like Richard
Trumka usually start the process by complaining about some law that
allegedly hurts workers. Then, after a month or two of bombast and
bluster, we find that their definition of “worker” is actually
“union member” and that they want the Democrats to grant them a
special dispensation from the offending law. This is how the
infamous Obamacare waiver
program was hatched.
Thus, when news reports began appearing a few months ago about union dissatisfaction with Obamacare, it was hardly necessary to consult the Delphic Oracle to know that Trumka, et al., would soon demand a new concession relating to the health care law in return for union support in the 2014 midterms. And, sure enough, the bosses eventually made it known that they want the Obama administration to give their unions special subsidies to which they are not entitled under the “Affordable Care Act.” This concession, which the President has no authority to grant, would provide union members with a double subsidy.
