union ever since. kicking ass for the working class. out there doing our thing. yes. >> today's protest is on manhattan's west side, where more than 75 plumbers, iron workers and laborers are drumming up support for union workers. >> gather around. a lot of you were probably here a year ago when this building was going up, being build nonunion, they promised they would built the next three jobs union. the first one went nonunion. the second one just started, he took it away from one of our union contractors and gave it to the same piece of dirt that built this building. so we're going to make a lot of noise today guys? >> yeah! >> all right. all right. we're going to blow up one, two, three, about four racks. >> okay. >> there you go. >> if you want to get the public support, you've got to get the public's attention and chaz has a unique way of doing it. >> okay. >> giant rat that stands more than 12 feet tall on the side of the protest. >> ah! >> are we ready to fight? are we ready to fight for decency? are we ready to fight for respect? are we ready to fight for union wages? are we ready to fight? >> yeah! >> just when he's gaining some momentum, new york's finest sh

unions will have their concerns addressed. ironically one of the main concerns this law will force employers to cut worker hours. e credit for 40 hour work week, maybe correctly. this pushes many employers to under 30 hours a week. they describe this obamacare as quote, a threat to the 40 hour work week. that is devastating. bill: i think that is the biggest point to be made here. that is a reflection how this law is changing. >> right. bill: the american economy, juan. you're putting people at 30 hours or lower so that the companies, can save money. >> i don't think that is on a large-scale. i think there's a specific niche in terms of employment part-time employment and you're exactly right in saying unions don't want more people falling out -- bill: large-scale, small cale, medium scale, what does it matter? >> it does matter. bill: no, you're forcing people to change their lives. >> no, bill, you're talking a whole scale change to the u.s. economy. so the degree of change is very important here and it's a change that will impact a small segment, you're right, i agree with you, and the unions are concerned bec

transportation, homeland security, the government union showed them ways to avoid those furloughs of workers, and instead cut the fat in the organization. >> i find it ironic people stuff say you should be cutting, unnecessary travel, conferences, should you take first class, i mean, this is what we want, what the american people actually wanted to get with this. you know, the fact is that the government -- these not tough decisions, just they say, we have to make two or three less trips than normally made on a taxpayers' dime. >> listen, if it's your job, the conference, i think guys think, you know, i want to keep my job. >> i hear ya. surprise, surprise, soda is linked to behavior problems in younger kids. after the break, the doctor's in. ♪ [ male announcer] surprise -- you're having triplets.

union that represents the i.r.s. workers is asking to be exempted from obamacare, which is ironic because they're the very workers that are in charge of enforcing the law, so the people that are going to be in charge of enforcing obamacare have asked to be exempted from obamacare. there's a lot of reasons to be nervous about it if you're a supporter, but let me give you one more today, and that's the impact that it's going to have on our seniors. we haven't heard a lot of talk about this yet, but let me focus on one group of seniors in particular, and that is seniors that are on something called medicare advantage. medicare advantage is a medicare program where basically you contract with a private company to administer your benefits under medicare, and how these companies compete for your business is that they add all sorts of value-added services. for example, transportation. my mom's on medicare advantage. one of the reasons how they get her business is that in addition to good doctors, they actually will pick her up from home because she can't and doesn't drive and take her to her doctor's appointments. these are
