Are you serious? did you count commas too? OMFG! how many times was "the" used?:lol::lol::lamo
You're avoiding the point. Why is it that the reason for leaving the AFL-CIO is not mentioned a SINGLE time outside of those two sentences? Not even in reference? You're ducking now. How does that feel?
That's just stupid. But unlike you, I wont take the stupidity of one liberal and tar all liberals with that label. Now, you go back to trolling.You're a Liberal. :shrug: - Libertarians don't have reading comprehension skills.
See: OP.
No you are missing the point, the fact that it is mentioned is enough. Not when or how many times, should they have put it in bold for you?:lamo
Again, your comprehension skills are very questionable. Do you not understand basic math?
Yes, and MLK mentions rings in his I have a Dream speech. That doesn't make his speech about telephones. Now, with that aside, why is it that you picked those 2 sentences as the REASON the ILWU is leaving when there are far more obvious reasons for why they're choosing to leave? Is it because it fits your narrative far better? You literally picked 2 sentences out of 3 pages to cite that as THE definite reason for why the ILWU is leaving. You keep talking about people being blind, yet you have serious tunnel vision.
Speaking of basic math. Longshoremen are a fast-disappearing breed since the introduction of shipping containers, mechanisation, and computerised loading. All of these have mean massive job losses world wide. With fewer members contributing, the further loss of members to competing unions who should be prevented from doing so by AFL/CIO agreements which are not being enforced, makes their union's very existence unsustainable. THAT's why they're leaving.
Yeah they are going to turn to the the Republicans that want them gone lol. I read the letter and it mention ACA twice! Plus it is 11% of the total Union. I am going to take a nap now wake me up when you have something worht reading!
I picked page three as it is a summary
more unions across the country were made weaker by ACA, which has been the Obama goal all along to weaken the workforce
You really need to stop taking Breitbart seriously.
It doesn't even follow his narrative about Obama being a socialist. Either he's pro-unions or he's anti-unions. Which is it?
The key to ObamaCare was always redistribution of Medical Coverage wealth. Anyone who thought there was a big pile of Free Money sitting in a pile to be tapped was an idiot. No, money for subsidies for the poor would come from where it always comes from, the Middle Class.
So - is Obama a socialist? Or is he not?
he is a closet socialist trying to put on a capitalist veneer
look he has to pay for this train wreck some how and there isn't enough rich people to tax their Cadillac insurance policies to foot the bill so he has to come up with the money somewhere so why not hit up the big insurance pools of unions. democrats always felt they have the union vote locked in just like the black community that they have done nothing for
So then he is a socialist pretending to be a capitalist? Where is his socialist abolition of private property? Why hasn't he nationalized ANY of our industries? Where are these socialist measures I don't really see in effect? Or is socialist what you don't like?
Yes, 3rd page on TWO SENTENCES out of 3 pages is what backs up your contention that the REAL reason the ILWU is leaving is because of ObamaCare. And not the AFL's violations of solidarity agreements, attacks on the ILWU by the AFL, lack of support - yes, those two sentences are REALLY the reason they're leaving - and not the fact that the AFL has basically backstabbed the ILWU on a number of more serious occasions.
Keep trying Rocketman, you obviously didn't read the letter to begin with. Now you're stuck trying to roll the ball. Please, tell me - why is it that the ILWU is leaving the AFL-ICO and only mentions the real reason after 2 and a half pages and on 2 short sentences? It doesn't mention it for 2.9 pages and then picks two measly sentences to cite its real reason? Is that what you want us to believe?
You still haven't read the letter cited have you? In a letter that is mostly about the ILWU having a beef with the AFL, you decided that the reason the ILWU was REALLY leaving was because of a tax that is mentioned in what are literally 2 sentences. Read the letter. Then, get back to me. Until then - you're just one more ignorant Libertarian talking out of the side of his mouth.
What part of the word "also" that is in the letter is confusing to you? There was no "real" reason they left. They listed several reasons why they left.
They made it clear they have had their fill of Obamacare and it hasn't even fully kicked in yet. I will admit though, the smokescreen you are laying down trying to hide that fact is pretty funny.

Did the union members walk out on the union, or not?
Is that what they said in the 3 page letter? If they didn't say it in the letter, it doesn't count.
because socialist don't win elections in America so he has to put on a capitalist front but he still pushes for the main socialist philosophy of wealth redistribution just hides it with catch phrases like "paying your fair share"
In what is being reported as a surprise move, the 40,000 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) announced that they have formally ended their association with the AFL-CIO, one of the nation’s largest private sector unions. The Longshoremen citied Obamacare and immigration reform as two important causes of their disaffiliation.
Citing Obamacare, 40,000 Longshoremen Quit the AFL-CIO
Ironic isn't it, Obama is screwing the very people that got him re-elected
