Honestly, unions, especially those representing the public employee need to wage a counter campaign. Ads with fire fighters, cops, public ER workers, etc. and teachers need to be out there. This anti-labor union sentiment has firtile ground to grow on during a time of recession, high unemployment, and lost tax revenues causing big budget shortages.

This really is a serious time.

I am wondering this same thing. Maybe they think they are getting enough press for free from the (not!) liberal press? I always wonder the same thing about Dems when they get attacked - they just ignore the attacks and keep pressing on. But sometimes you have got to challnge the attacks. Lies told over and over are often perceived as truth.

Smooches,

I was surprised (and pleased) that my local news station in this right to work (translate that to right to be slaves) state of Florida, covered this anniversary. They even said it was the recognised event that got the labor union movement going. We need that movement right now and particularly here in Florida where our totally deranged newly elected governor is doing his best to destroy the already weak educational system.

Might have a good effect for all those who are so uptight about all the illegal immigrant workers in our country. If we produce enough uneducated, unemployeable folks in our state, THEY will fill those jobs that supposedly no American wants!!!

Smooches,
