I walked the line when teachers went on strike and it rained... but not like Nebraska.

Kaiser Healthcare may also strike soon along with Hollywood workers.

UNION!

If you get a chance watch his entire segment on labor, including the Kellogg strike at the end of his show. It was the best segment on labor issues I have seen on cable TV. I recorded it and watched it again with the hubby. It really stood out because labor issues are totally ignored by the corporate media or presented from a business perspective. It is really eye opening when that doesn't happen.

Walked a few picket lines myself.. never in rain like this. We need to let people fighting for a better life know we’re in solidarity with them. ✊
