CATO INSTITUTE SAYS UNION'S HEALTH CARE PUSH BAD FOR WORKERS

Organized labor is launching a new push for national health care. The Cato Institute says their actions will end up hurting workers in the long run. Why? Because they want to bypass union-employer bargaining disputes. Now you ask, how would that hurt union workers. Well, the Cato Institute says in the long run, Union workers would end up paying higher taxes for health care, and they would not have access to health care they have today.

WHAT WERE THESE UNIONS THINKING?

John Edwards received the endorsements of the United Steelworkers and United Mine Workers of America. As a former member of the USWA, I have thought for quite a while that unions have outlived their purpose. Their support of someone who is largely irrelevant in the race for the Democratic nomination, just supports the argument that these unions are also irrelevant.
