apparently they didn't read the bill either.
Unions are no more then a bunch of sell outs they could care less about the American people they represent. It's all about the money.
12:07 Agreed. If it was demanded that business be unionized... I would shut the doors and take my $ with me. The unions were in the politicians pockets, and gushing over the bill when it was introduced and voted for. What's wrong now?

Really? Some unions are angry about obamacare? A lot of people who formerly supported obamacare are now angry. To them we can take great pleasure in saying "told you so."
So, REPEAL IT! It only passed by one vote. Vote again! Use your heads this time!
As more of the bill takes effect, many more will cry out "foul play" and want change.
