_Click  here: The American Spectator : Unions to Get Yet Another Obamacare 
Break?_

The article say:
 
In fact, the Washington Times _reports_ 
(http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/aug/29/afl-cios-trumka-obamacare-still-needs-fixing/)  that the 
unions are openly complaining  that some of the promises they were made in those 
backroom deals have not been  kept: “Several labor unions, including the 
powerful Teamsters, penned letters  last month accusing Democratic leaders of 
breaking promises they made to unions  in exchange for their support for Mr. 
Obama’s signature law.”
 
And ties this to union campaign contributions and expenditures.
 
Why don't the critics of Citizens United rarely raise the fact  that unions 
also benefited from the decision and never support a law that would  
restrict them, but only target corporations?  I suspect a partisan motive  here. 
 
Ok, "reformers," is there a principled-based reason to reregulate  
corporations, but not unions? If not, my suspicion must be right.  Jim  Bopp
