Members of the Chicago-based Service Employees International Union Local 1 have gone on strike over recent job cuts by a janitorial company called Professional Maintenance.
The reason for the cuts? The employer says it is because of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. This is ironic since SEIU is a major supporter of the law.
Tyler French, Local 1's organizing director, told Mediatrackers Ohio the company claimed it had to cut its employees' hours due to Obamacare mandates.
French did not believe the explanation, though, calling it the “latest excuse in a long line of many that we’ve seen from corporate America.”

Hilarious, but really sad. As much as I want to rake the unions over the coals, the workers were the victims here; had they had any intelligence. Of course they could have read the bill and refuted it, they still followed their union leaders like sheep.
Lesson learned.
Sorry, boys, but now we have a large pile of $hit to deal with, unless you have the kahunas to go against today.
They got exactly what they voted for...unfortunately, the rest of us are screwed too.
