  • GREAT.

  • My dad wittnessed labor activity in the 20's and 30's as a textile worker. He told me about it.

    Solidarity forever.

  • Ask the air traffic controllers if they think Reagan was so great. Then he had an airport named after him. Clinton left office with the economy in great shape too. The railroads have always had trouble getting along with their employees. I worked for one of the largest for 37 years and have seen alot of their "fairness" first hand.

  • Roll through the public housing section and tell me how any New cars with 24 inch plus wheels are parked outside and then let me know how "POOR" they are.

  • Nice guitar playing, but the vocals ruin the song.

  • Just saw two movies featuring howard zinn, "The People Speak", and "You Can't Be Neutral On a Moving Train". People who are interested in this might like the former. The latter is more about pacifism than labor.
