10,000 Las Vegas casino workers say they are considering going on strike over Obamacare. March 20, Nevada's biggest union, the Culinary Union Local 226, says it will vote to grant the union the right to strike.

"The biggest hurdle to reaching settlements in Vegas is the new costs imposed on our health plan by Obamacare," Unite Here President Donald Taylor.

The threat of an almost 10,000-person union strike is merely the latest example of unions' rebuke of Obamacare. Last September, Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) President Terry O'Sullivan told AFL-CIO convention attendees, "We'll be damned if we're going to lose our health insurance because of unintended consequences in the law!".

Nearly 10,000 Las Vegas Casino Workers Might Go On Strike Because Of Obamacare

The President doesn't have to do anything. He's not running any more.

Reid will have to do something unless he plans to retire.
Baucus avoided the whole re-election thing by announcing his retirement and then getting an appointed job.

Sounds like it is over the negotiation of who would be paying for the healthcare, apparently they want to try and keep the employers paying the full cost.
