We've seen what corporations are doing for workers, now the workers want a voice. Now this article just screams that these same corporaitions don't care about America unless they reduce workers to third world status. They don't care about us.
I'm union, it isn't perfect but at least we can talk to management across a bargaining table, and they have to listen. In all my life I have not seen a time when American workers need a voice, now more than ever.

It seems that the pictures I saw and the accounts I read of civilian casualties in Gaza must have been a myth. The videos must have been made by masters of special effects. The destroyed houses just must have fallen victim to poor construction or been Hamas string holds. Now the Israeli Army is defending its actions saying its soldiers acted honorably... shooting ambulance drivers, destroying homes and crops, using white phosphorus bombs and artillery shells, killing women and children.... I just don't buy it.
I just know what I read in this blog, reported by people in the field during the conflict.
even Democrats can get in on the act...
Mar. 27th, 2009 01:14 pmModerate Democrats tell all...run a few ads against their stand and you get this response.. coutesy of the Daily Kos...
Among the targets of Americans United for Change is Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), who declared the ads “not very helpful.”
“The liberal groups need to understand that we are not elected to represent the president,” Pryor said. “We’re elected to represent our states, and we are trying to reflect the attitudes and values of the people who sent us to Washington.”
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) is also unhappy with the friendly fire. Bayh announced last week that a group of centrist Democrats had come together to negotiate as a bloc with the White House and party leaders on major legislation. He promptly found himself targeted by an ad accusing him of “standing in the way of President Obama’s reforms.”
“We literally have no agenda,” Bayh shot back. “How can they be threatened by a group that has taken no policy positions?”
Sounds like a Republican to me....
