36. Yes, a different kind of awareness seems to be developing.
Wisc was fantastic. And then there are the Union actions, in CA over the summer, against the Multi-nationals and we should be supporting them more imo. Now the Longshoremen. Going to write something about that situation when I get a chance. If we support them, they can defeat the Global effort to crush the Unions and to lower pay, which is what that Corp they are protesting is doing.

The press is not covering the Longshoremen fairly at all, hardly even mentioning the reason for their protests. They need better PR because what they are fighting is not for them, it is for all Americans as people would see if they knew the whole story. Shame on our media, they are so complicit in the attacks on American workers.

But there is hope. It's like America is beginning to wake up and other parts of the world who have doing this for months, like Spain and the Brits eg, are thrilled and are offering their support :-)
