MfD OpenForum : AFL CIO: Pressing for workers or posing for the press? How frightening is it when the skeltons in your closet bite your ass before you get the closet door slammed shut?
That is what seems to be happening to labours' new tag team of Sweeney, Raynor, McCarron, Stern, and Wilhelm who took to the sidewalks of New Haven, Connecticut in protest.
Arrested for civil disobedience, the 5 labour musketeers decided to 'sit-in', in support of Yale University employees who have been on strike for 18 days. But that's not how Yale officials are viewing the actions of the 5 prominent labour leaders.
Yale officials claim the labour leaders reasons to join the fracus are a little less than honorable. In fact they are claiming it is an outright media grab, meant to bring attention to the AFL CIO's new non-union union organizing campaign.------------------------------------------- posted 6:30 AM :: reference link ::
