(20 posts)50. Witness the undoing of the Republican Tent of Greed
It's just in time for the holidays, the 1% has given America a window of greed. The pundits and the news organizations and the Polls have their marching orders from the 1% as union members across America celebrating the reelection of Pres. Obama are witnessing retaliation from the 1%.
America can witness the multitude of union members protesting in the streets and on the Internet. Workers rights are being threatened as the SOS call goes out across the world for workers to unite and to prepare for the upcoming challenges in the new year.
The 1% is demonstrating desperate measures and will soon realize its undoing of power will come about because of a shrinking Republican tent to attract new members to the house of greed.

For me, going to work and doing my job is a whole lot more important than getting my face on TV.

I've got no right to strike. And public opinion will not support a wildcat strike.

I'll definitely support it, but I think that the unions seriously need to reinvent themselves.
