say FUCK YOU! to Koch Brothers and JOIN A UNION

If you don't belong to a UNION join one. If you belong to one, then get more involved.

Take it to the next level. Increase the Union #s.

If you don't have Unions at our work place then Join IWW or if you are tired of Democrats, Join IWW.

say FU to the powers that be. Join OCCUPY

If you are really pissed get radical and join the original Union. Wobblies

WHY EVERY WORKER SHOULD BE IN THE ONE BIG UNION

Whether your job sucks or is "pretty good" (at least today), we in the IWW believe you should join us for the following reasons. We need to start sticking up for our coworkers in our workplaces and in our industries. Ask around on your next shift. How many coworkers have two or three jobs? How many are one paycheck away from an eviction? We have a duty to our co-workers, and those who will follow in our footsteps, to make things better. The only way to do this is to organize together. When we band together around our common experiences and interests, we can improve our jobs and industries. Our labor, not our bosses, is what makes our workplaces tick and we can use our labor power to improve our jobs and our communities in the short term. In a lot of ways, that is what unions are all about.

I agree completely, plus we need to unite and support Obama, stay on message, and not attack each other.

It's time for change.
