A 22,000 member labor union that endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 and helped push for passage of the Affordable Care Act seems to be experiencing a wake up call: A labor union representing roofers is reversing course and calling for repeal of the federal health law, citing concerns the law will raise its cost for insuring members. -Doug Powers
Union leaders say many of the law’s requirements will drive up the costs for their health-care plans and make unionized workers less competitive.
