Last night, the Employee Free Choice Act passed in the House Committee on Education and Labor and will be sent to the House floor in the coming months. Congratulations and thank you to Rep. George Miller of CA and everyone else whose hard work made this happen.
Evil VP Cheney met this morning with leading corporatists to plan their strategy to undermine workers' rights.
THE fight to restore America's middle class has begun! Join Up!
Inspiration below the fold...
THE fight to restore America's middle class has begun! Join Up!
Solidarity forever!
Solidarity forever!
Solidarity forever!
For the union makes us strong
When the union's inspiration
through the workers' blood shall run,
There can be no power greater
anywhere beneath the sun.
Yet what force on earth is weaker
than the feeble strength of one?
But the union makes us strong.
They have taken untold millions
that they never toiled to earn,
But without our brain and muscle
not a single wheel can turn.
We can break their haughty power;
gain our freedom when we learn
That the Union makes us strong.
In our hands is placed a power
greater than their hoarded gold;
Greater than the might of armies,
magnified a thousand-fold.
We can bring to birth a new world
from the ashes of the old
For the Union makes us strong.
