5. I'm union in the public sector, I don't have the right to strike

Many public sector employees can't even form a union. AFSCME is AFL-CIO. We support all labor. This Saturday I'm handing out flyers in front of Starbucks.

The story: http://www.starbucksunion.org/node/2011

The flyer: http://www.starbucksunion.org/files/MLKM17.pdf

Union membership went up last year reversing a 25 year trend: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/25/AR2008012503076.html

Marta and I are all union. Something Elaine's Labor Dept. won't tell you is union membership was up again in the last quarter. Labor's biggest loss has been manufacturing jobs in the rust belt being outsourced outside the USA. Our middle class is slowly bleeding to death. We need a BIG win for the D party this November.

K&R!
