According to Daily Kos, The New York Transit Workers Union (TWU) voted to support the Wall Street Protestors at their meeting last night.

A member of TWU Local 100 told a reporter that they would join the protest Friday at 4PM.


The TWU has four main divisions: Railroad; Gaming; Airline; Transit; and Utility, University and Service. The Union has 114 autonomous locals representing over 200,000 members and retirees in 22 states around the country.

Occupy Wall Street has been picking up some decent support from unions in the past few days. Yesterday we reported that the Teamsters Union declared their support for protestors, and we also found out that the United Pilots Union had members at the protest demonstrating in uniform.

good news! The more, the better

[ixion]

1. hurray!

hopefully that starts a trend. :applause:

[roguevalley]

66. its pride making isn't it?

RV, Teamster, AFSCME, AFT and NEA, SEIU over the years.

[BanTheGOP]

72. Exactly, Rogue! THIS SHOULD END CAPITALISM ONCE AND FOR ALL!

We need to DESTROY the policy known as capitalism at its source: Wall Street, and reclaim the monies to distribute in progressively socially accepted ventures whose board members are REAL people, not cutthroat ingrates only wanting money money money.

Regulate, then destroy, capitalism, until we make this world free.

[defendandprotect]

92. Agree ---

Imo, capitalism is dead among ordinary citizens --

but we have to find ways to starve the corporations -- especially the banks --

credit cards, etal --

[vets74]

125. PRODUCTIVE CAPITALISM is one thing. FINANCIAL CAPITALISM is now white-collar racketeering.

There's a big difference.

Take a look at the conversion from paying dividends to doing "retained earnings" which then get grabbed with takeover M&A actions. Low interest money to financial institutions from The Fed invariably rolls into these M&A actions -- by the billions of dollars a year, by the twenty trillion since 1960.

This works like the oil industry of 1890-1930.

[Brigid]

131. Yep.

Many people today don't get the distinction, but it is an extremely important one.

[Brian Okamura]

141. Capitalism is capitalism.

Finance capitalism is just an advanced form of the beast.

[vets74]

144. This is a new "beast."

The great Trusts of the 19th Century approached what these guys are doing.

But otherwise there has never been anything running around that could steal money by the trillions of dollars.

[defendandprotect]

147. Capitalism has ALWAYS been about moving the wealth and natural resources of nations from many to few

Nothing new about that -- how much is a nation worth -- ?

Criminals are inventive -- as long as they are being aided and abetted by

our elected officials they more they can steal!


Capitalism is an evil -- and you can't regulate an evil -- move on!

[defendandprotect]

146. Capitalism and Predatory Capitalism -- it's over -- !!! Move on ... to economic democracy...!!!

[defendandprotect]

145. Unregulated capitalism is merely organized crime --

People make an economy -- we don't need Wall St or corporations ---

In fact, had we never gotten involved in "bus-i-ness" we'd still have the planet -- !!!

The "financial economy," itself, is simply an effort to create a profit for the few --



Capitalism is an evil -- and you can't regulate an evil --

If we truly want democracy then we need economic democracy -- and that sure ain't capitalism!!

And how much better off we'd have been had Rockefeller never brought in that first oil well

in the late 1800's -- !!!

Again -- we'd still have the planet!!

[roguevalley]

97. agree, times zillion

[DWilliamsamh]

109. Sorry I support the protesters...they at least are reasonable

Who are asking a very reasonable thing: that the corporations and wealthy pay fair taxes. Their demand is reasonable. Yours is not.

[Brian Okamura]

142. Noble ambition, but it's not so easy.

The capitalist class has lots of tricks up its sleeve, which is how the system has lasted so long, despite its many crises and failures.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I'm proud to recommend!

:kick:

[calimary]

35. Me, too, my dear Peggy!

The more, the better! And the louder. And the more insistent. And that much harder for mainstream media to ignore.

[Chipper Chat]

51. Not a peep in USA Today about it

but lots of coverage on Libya, Israel, and Somalia.

[txlibdem]

99. Don't count on getting truth from the corporate-owned media

Those days are long gone.

I was surprised to see a 15-second snippet about the protest... which showed the ground littered with protest signs and one or two people sitting on the curb. That was the NBC nightly news; not a peep out of the locals. That's Texas for ya.

[vets74]

127. And wait till this gets to 10,000 protesters. How's to spin that ???

A hundred protesters or a thousand can be ignored.

10,000... not so much.

Oh, wait. They're commies. Gotta be commies.

[txlibdem]

130. The M$M only know one song: the one they've been ordered to sing

If there is any karma or justice in America this protest is just the beginning of the 98% taking back our country from the psychopaths who currently run it and profit from it. Banking, The Fed, Lobbyists, Whore Politicians, psychopath CEOs and board members: the clock is ticking. The bell tolls for thee.

[Oceansaway]

3. K&R...n/t

[Lint Head]

4. Please! Please let this grow beyond all expectations!

I want this to force the hand of law makers and prosecutors to bring the people that destroyed our economy to justice. Specifically, Goldman Sachs.

[myrna minx]

5. Excellent. K&R n/t

[No Elephants]

6. Good. All working people really need to be on the same side.

That's how it used to be, once upon a time.

That's how it should be again.

So many first responders died on 911 because, like a typical Republican, Guiliani would not spend money on a communication system (also because he had put the Emergency Response Center in the WTC, against advice and common sense).

Why any First Responder still votes Republican is beyond me.

For that matter, why any worked, union member or not, public or private, continues to vote for the "right to work for the lowest wages" Party is beyond me.

[dotymed]

23. Actually, once upon a time was not very long ago.

Remember, "WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE?" That is how it should ALWAYS be. I had an idiot in my local Carpenters Union who used to carry a picture of "W" in his wallet. That is disgusting. Why not Hitler?

20. AFAIK, the TWU doesn't have a union administered pension fund.

your concern is duly noted, tho.

139. Hmmm... part two.

I imagine it's "fun" for some people...

Hmmm... part two.

[matmar]

17. Labor will help make this spread....and NYC is where the "war" will be won.

Just speaking as a postal worker, it was in NYC in 1970 when the letter carriers went on strike and shut down mail service in NYC that helped create the middle class jobs that are now under attack...

NYC is Gettysburg.

56. Yeah.......

That BS line about "We HAVE to pay CEOs this much to retain their expertise!" BULLSHIT! If they can't find enough money here, let 'em leave the country. So MANY of the corporations are screwing us anyways.

All the criticism of the protesters for not having one simple bumper sticker goal is wasted concern. Once it starts, it will find its voice.

If you build it they will come.

[arcane1]

32. Isn't that five main divisions?

:shrug:

[OrwellwasRight]

37. I was so confused I looked it up.

That is exactly what the TWU website says--it needs copy editing, but I believe what it may mean to say is: Four main divisions: Railroad; Gaming; Airline; and Transit; and three minor divisions: Utility; University; and Service. If you look at the photo on the TWO website, it helps a little (although it adds Municipal and Schools instead of Gaming and Service, so I could be totally off base!):

Sorry, but before all MSM showed were a few college kids in masks and unwashed tshirts.

More unions please.

[robbob]

58. MSM?

They will show whatever they want to show that will minimize the impact this movement could have. We need a new media. Don't believe what you read, and half of what you see.

42. Other Unions Also Supporting

From the link above:

Occupy Wall Street has been picking up some decent support from unions in the past few days. Yesterday we reported that the Teamsters Union declared their support for protestors, and we also found out that the United Pilots Union had members at the protest demonstrating in uniform.
Today we learned the Industrial Workers of the World put a message of support on their website as well.

43. I brought it up to my Teamster Ex this morning

I just saw on this thread that they are supporting !!!! Wooohooo

48. Need to spread this around D.A.V., too.

They're out to steal from all of us. No exceptions.

45. K & R. This is great news.

[Luciferous]

46. K&R

[Township75]

47. Does "support" mean their members will show up in numbers?

Or just moral and verbal support for the cause?

If you have 200k members, I think support means at least 20k show up.

[patrice]

50. Always a very good question, that! "What does ____________ mean?"

[socialist_n_TN]

137. Yep that was going to be my question also

Does it mean showing up at the demonstration? Does it mean rotating in membership, so that they always have a presence? Or does it just mean a "solidarity fist" bump and that's it?

More importantly, does it mean job site action or actions?

And if you're really going to "occupy Wall Street" when do you actually get on TO Wall Street to really make some noise?

[Occulus]

149. Google is showing all results now, so you can go look at some pics if you want

A Google Images search for "TWU Wall Street" shows members of the union there starting on Page 2 (or just scroll down).

54. I'm shocked by the lack of Serious Adult Conversation here

Don't these folks realize that they're jeopardizing everything?

Unless we do whatever Wall Street and the Republicans want, Wall Street and the Republicans will remain unchecked. So lets do whatever they want. Heck, we can even do more than what they want - how about http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1631283">demanding cuts to Social Security?

59. Time for a general strike.

Time to live up to the American promise.

[Enthusiast]

60. Hey President Obama!

Time for your DOJ to actually investigate criminality on Wall Street. And it's time for you to stop siding with the thieves.

[coalition_unwilling]

119. Time for Obama's DoJ to investigate police brutality by NYPD towards

non-violent protesters exercising their first amendment rights. (Bologna, et. al.)

But, hey, Obama's DoJ couldn't be bothered to investigate the Bush Junta, so why would they care about the rights of a few non-violent demonstrators being blatantly violated?

[Brigid]

132. I heard on MSNBC last night . . .

That NYPD's Internal Affairs is working on this. But of course it would be great for the DOJ to get involved too.

[fascisthunter]

61. Bravo!!!! (nt)

[Overseas]

63. K&R. Glad to hear it.

[tropicanarose]

64. Woot!

[stockholmer]

65. the Wall Street Protesters MUST start to put forward a cogent political agenda with real leaders of

their own choosing, or they will be co-opted and subsumed into the false left-right paradigm in the same way that the original Tea Partiers of 2006 to 2008 were. They CANNOT let the media choose their leaders (and they do need leaders and spokespeople, otherwise the message will get blurred into a grey blob of mish-mashed slogans).

The systemic controllers are absolutely brutal at hi-jacking any true movement that threatens them. All one needs to do to see this is the Obama regimes tepid and flaccid response to the Wisconsin protests.

[vets74]

129. Just like what the ARAB SPRING folks did it ???

Obviously not.

Embarrassing the RICO-eligible criminals on Wall Street is enough for now.

They stole $25-billion in the first Dot.com scam cycle early-mid-1990s, what you read about in "Burn Rate" from Michael Wolfe. Nobody prosecuted. That accelerated to $500-billion or more in the second Dot.com cycle late 1990s. Roughly six people prosecuted.

Those models turned to the grand mortgage scammery and mortgage-based bond scams in 2003-2008. Easily $10-trillion. Prosecutions ??? No-no-no. And loaning out money to drive profits in the Productive Capitalism sectors... not important.

Common Law Fraud -- no longer exists. Not for FINANCIAL CAPITALISM.

That is what these protests are all about. That's the core of it. Simple crime.

89. Union Members, Wall Street Protesters to Converge at Police Plaza

http://www.wnyc.org/blogs/wnyc-news-blog/2011/sep/29/union-members-wall-street-protesters-converge-police-plaza/

Labor activists and members of the Occupy Wall Street protests will converge at One Police Plaza Friday evening to protest police tactics, namely the use of pepper-spray against some of the protesters during a march last weekend.

The development comes as a number of large unions are signing on to the protests, now on their 13th day.

Yesterday, members of Transit Workers Union's Local 100, which represents 38,000 MTA workers, agreed to back the protesters with financial support and manpower.

Local 100 President John Samuelsen argues that higher taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkers would help offset the job losses of workers in recent years.
snip

I wonder how many of the 38,000 will be there?? Should make for an interesting evening!!

[Liberalynn]

143. I especially like the line about " financial and manpower support"

This would seem to confirm that it is acutal literal support and not just a figuarative message of support.
