You've Got To Fight, For Your Right...

With this new law/tax going into affect (obamaCare) Colorado's insurance exchanges cranked into business - then ground to a halt - but still went into affect at the beginning of October.

One has to simply spend 5 minutes to find great coverage for far less.
I say far less but I'll explain that phrase here in a minute.

RTD gives each employee who is shackled by the union, something like $549 a month to pay for health insurance.
But that stipend never makes it to the employee.
The union snags that then sends a piece of paper to the employee that reads, "Hey, in order to satisfy the new obamaCare tax/law, you are covered."
That coverage for a single member - on top of the $549 the union already collects from RTD on the member's behalf - can cost hundreds of dollars more.
OR that member can take a "high deductible - no premium" coverage that can cost the members thousands of dollars in yearly deductibles to use, were that member to ever need it.

5 minutes on any of these new health insurance exchange sites and you can find Gold level coverage with no deductibles and $20 copays for close to half the cost of the monthly stipend that RTD gives us to use for health insurance.

The union takes that money then charges the member almost twice that much again each month while offering far less coverage.

And the union says it is looking out for and providing benefits to the members!

Well, along comes Allen Grove.

A mechanic from RTD's Platte Division who no longer wants to put up with the union's hate and extortion of both RTD, the tax payer/public/customer and the employees.

The union sent a letter to all of us to let us know that Allen Grove filed a petition to allow the maintenance employees to be free from the union tyranny and leave the union.
Of course the union paints that as the end of the world as we know it, for all employees being oppressed by the union and for those who would leave.

The letter includes two pages of liberal propaganda to scare members into voting against allowing the maintenance employees their freedom from the union.

Finally, the end of this propaganda letter admits that the union king pin cannot deny Allen Grove his right to pursue this petition to get the heck out and he admits that the rest of us have the right to speak up - to support and join Mr. Allen Grove in his efforts to rid himself and his coworkers of this demoralizing and oppressive organization.

Allen Grove:
We support you.
You'd be surprised, in spite of what the few union supporters and their mob bosses will lead us to believe, there are many of us who will support you.
When the vote comes, in spite of the scare tactics, the bullying employed at the ballot box and the threats they liberally spread around the work force - we will vote with you and grant you your freedom of choice.

The writer of the union propaganda letter & his side kick have both expressed their lack of love for those they profess to represent and they are very vocal in their pride of their extortion of the public, the tax payer, the customer and RTD.
He urges us to push aside how we feel about him personally but he forgets that it is him personally who embodies and personifies the union.

Stand strong Mr. Allen Grove.
We're standing with you.
