Big Labor's SEIU, UFCW and others allowed to opt out of ObamaCare

 

SEIU, UFCW and other unions that spent hundreds of millions of dollars of forced union dues supporting ObamaCare have filed requests to be exempt and have been granted exemptions from onerous ObamaCare regulations.  ObamaCare continues to create hypocrites out of Big Labor and the Obama Administration.  Below is a partial list of waivers granted by the Obama Administrations (for the current list from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services click here):

Employees Give Two More Unions the Boot

These elections supply added examples and evidence that the PRO Act should be rejected, which should be more than obvious by now that the PRO Act does nothing but take away choice from employees and bestows unconstitutional powers onto union officials and government officials. Under the PRO Act results like these could be overturned by union cronies in government agencies and then they could impose unwanted union control over these employees again even though they just rejected the union officials by a democratic vote.
