(6,335 posts)I am OPEIU in good standing. And an organizer and activist. And the daughter of a USW steelworker. The sister of a UBC carpenter.
And I call you Brother even if you a member of a non-AFL-CIO affiliated union (there are quite a few - SEIU and UBC for example) or are not even a union member. If we are in the fight together, you are my brother or sister, organized or not.
Our House is in shambles, and we are dying, but we are still one of the last great hopes. But every time we put our energies into electing some damned Pol who'll just turn around and screw us (Employee Free Choice Act anyone? Those comfortable shoes?) that hope dims a little more.
And no friend of the Vampire Insurance industry or the Ghoul Banksters is a friend of ours.
