Edited on Fri Aug-26-11 11:38 AM by Playinghardball
Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to mess with the steelworkers . . .

3. Oh. My. Gawd. That's the best video I've seen in a long time
That's really what's at stake, folks.

4. The start of an international worker's movement?
That's what it will take to resist the multinational corporations.

Well done. I loved the clips from Wisconsin.

7. that's pretty good. but what is it in aid of? where is this "movement"? i don't see it.
also, the quote they attribute to tommy douglas is douglas quoting tennyson:

Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.

A rouser about lots of things, including old age.

13. i've been seeing it
keep your eyes open. Keep watching Wisconsin of course, but next comes the FAA fight. Also, if you see a group of people picketing outside John Boehner's house, it's likely to be union workers.

8. Excellent, tells it like it is, "no one gave us a damn thing" "we make real things" why is it
that pushing paper (electronic or otherwise) back and forth somehow "creates money"? It doesn't, it steals money from the productive classes.
When will the con ever end?
