Holy Crap!! They are STILL on strike??? I booked a room for 3 days at that hotel in 2005 and they were on strike then. Man just close that place down, not all that great. They kept charging my credit card 2 months after I had checked out.

Can'em.... Replace all of the workers! Hire people that are WILLING and HAPPY to work for $8.50 an hour!
-
Nice thought about politicians doing anything on the workers behalf, they just want your vote, and will do nothing once elected. Good luck to these people.
-
First of all, the Plaza workers got a 5-10% raise, just not the 60% raise they demanded. If the unions are losing strength, thats a good thing. Big corporations and huge trade unions are the cancer of our free economy.
-
Evidently the owners are strong enough to lower their employees' wages.
"All powerful union?" With all due respect, I think perhaps you ought to check YOUR facts. Workers' unions have been steadily losing power--health care, wages, pensions, job security...benefits in general. Workers deserve living wages.
-
Yep, I agree. The big picture is that the all powerful union is having a show of strength.
It is making an example of the Plaza becuase the owners are not strong enough to fight it.
Its leaders should be ashamed, go pick on someone your own size.

The big picture--or this spepcific one--isn't described by federal gov't data.

Three cheers for John Edwards! Unions brought us the weekend and will continue to stand for working class families. Senator Edwards knows that one of the ways to end poverty and to strengthen the middle class is to allow workers to organize. Thank you, John Edwards, for your courage and commitment to working class families. You will make a great president!

John Edwards is the only candidate for the people. In the last several years he has traveled out of his pocket to promote higher minimum wage and successfully helped pass higher wage bills in many states.
He is the ONLY candidate to say NO to BIG Business and Special Innterest PACs.
Also, the only candidate with full universal health care coverage- Important to the 47 million people without AFFORDABLE Insurance.
God bless you for making a prayerful and educated vote.
