Your data are false and you are desperate. Wisconsin 0 for 2 and Obama's political suicide must have you clutching your boyfriend's hand in utter desperation.
Try to keep up.

The memphis saniation strike it is called, and those workers sought to join AFSCME.
If you dont believe me, look it up in a book, or use wikipedia.
King was there to support their efforts.
honestly, if you're still sitting there thinking MLK was NOT supporting unions, then you're just deliberately denying reality.
And this whole Stalin Mao thing... yeah, you're a douche.
Try not being such a fucking douche.

saying "fucking" as often as you can does not further your feckless quest to rewrite history, a favorite pastime of Stalin, Mao and the democrat party.
they had specific problems to address and MLK was there after the strike began. THE DEMOCRAT CITY MACHINE WOULDN'T BUDGE.
Try to keep up.

sight.. so you're saying..
They where striking collectively.. to get better working conditions? aka to bargain?
They where striking for union recognition!
...
dude.. just fucking google it.
just google: Memphis sanitation strike
Honestly.. basic fucking facts.

Sanitation worker.. garbage workers.. look, why are you discussing this with me?
and is it tough for me?
no not at all, but you are making my point.
If all decisions not enumerated in the constitution are up to the states.. what exactly is your point in telling me there is no such thing as "workers rights" in the constitution?
"try to keep up."
use some variety when you are being a douche, would ya?

"Garbage men are considered sanitation workers, nitwit."
"Sanitation workers" is a general term. Garbage is the correct and precise definition of who was striking.
The aforementioned amendments left all decisions not enumerated in the Constitution to the States and the People therein. That includes local roads and signage etc.
This is tough for you eh?
Try to keep up.

The garbage men of memphis were striking for safer working conditions. Already one man had died. Whites in other cities had better work conditions. Also, pay was unfair because, again, whites in the same jobs in other cities got more pay.
Collective bargaining (extortion) had nothing to do with it. The Democrat machine that ran Memphis could have fixed the problems quickly, but refused.
In 1974 I was forced to join the Steelworkers. Forced. No join, lose job.

Well, i know i'm breaking my own rule here but..
I am interested to know, please tell me what you believe it was, that brought MLK to memphis.
A couple hundred teabaggers vs. tens of thousands of pro-union/anti-walker protesters. Teabaggers were outnumbered and looked like the fools they truly are!
Save democracy! Save the unions!

"Used to getting their way, the unions and their friends on the left engaged in massive protests, 14 state senate Democrats fled the state for three weeks to delay the vote, and when the legislation passed, they tried to overturn the majority will by judicial challenges which failed. They threw massive support as well behind an incompetent candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and lost that plus her ill-considered recount."
