Unions "We will not endorse Dems who back Obama's economical policies"

Unions are walking away from Dem candidates who have supported and support Obama's economic policies.

Mr. Trumka leads the AFL-CIO federation of 56 unions, with more than 12 million members.
But here is the catch, and here is what I don't understand of the union bosses:
So you represent who Mr Trumka? Americans who are out of work? I'm confused.....

The country’s largest labor union won’t endorse any Democrat who has the same economic team as President Obama and won’t be getting behind Hillary Rodham Clinton early in the 2016 presidential race, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said Thursday.
“If you get the same economic team, you’re going to get the same results. The same results aren’t good enough for working people,” he said.

“For most folks, it seems to be an economy of stagnation,”
But here is the catch, and here is what I don't understand of the union bosses:
quote:
Mr. Trumka urged Mr. Obama to take “bold” action with executive orders to ease immigration law, including a union-backed proposal to halt deportations of most of America’s roughly 11 million illegal aliens.
quote:
Mr. Trumka called on the president to grant legal status to all undocumented residents who would be eligible for a 13-year path to citizenship included in a Senate immigration reform bill that passed this year, which would cover most of America’s illegal alien population.
quote:
Conservatives will go “bonkers” regardless of the extent of the executive orders, he said, but bold action will “energize” the left and help elect more Democrats in the midterm elections.

Well, with the majority of legal citizens realizing that Unions represent themselves, the only likely target for unionization are the illegals that do not have the same protections as legal citizens (otherwise they get deported)

Newsflash...this is all bullshite.
Writing was on the wall regarding Obama's economic policies and their impact on working people prior to 2012. Wanna guess who gave a frickton of $$$$ to Obama and the Dems in that election cycle? Wanna guess who was leading GOTV efforts for Obama and the Dems in 2012?
Don't believe a word of this.

So why didn't they pay attention to Obama's economical policies before voting for him?

Buyer's remorse possibly?
Unions, although I'm against them personally, really did get the shaft with their support.

If only people would do a little research on what they are supporting.
Buyers remorse is a bitch.
