Now is precisely the time to stand up for economic security. We’ve let corporate “leaders” get away with so much over the last 8 years. This economic crisis is their crisis. There is no need for working people to bear the worst consequences of these troubling times.

Like Republic Windows workers, folks at Regina are standing up for economic recovery focused on workers, not Wall Street. Thank goodness for their leadership.

Just like the poor, deluded, former union members at Northwest, these folks are being led down the primrose path to the unemployment line. Now is not the time to be parading juicy union benefits under the noses of people that are feeling lucky just to be employed.

Matching retirement investments is a staple in 99% of the workplace. One of the reasons that the auto industry is going broke is that they simply cannot continue to carry the enormous burden of retiree pensions.

Get a clue folks, when you are told that your job is in jeopardy, take the line of eager applicants waiting to fill out applications as proof of authenticity.

Think of it as “Change”!

Every single time I see a photo of Chris Coleman, I remember that he was the one who found the siege of St Paul to be quite acceptable during the Republican National Convention. It makes me angry when I think of all those rounded up, of the journalists and street medics charged, about phony charges of “weaponized urine” and other fanciful notions from the feverish brain of Bob Fletcher. But more than anything, I think of all the pretty young girls, including at least some Republicans, where were pepper-sprayed by those anonymous, black-clad storm troopers who obviously have very sick minds and obviously have little respect for us as citizens.
