Unions and liberal groups to join ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protest
   
Source: Raw Story
By Eric W. Dolan

Labor unions and liberal activist groups plan to throw their weight behind the "Occupy Wall Street" protest in New York City that has now lasted 13 straight days, according to Crain's New York.

A diverse coalition of people have pledged to occupy Wall Street until something is done about corporate greed and the financial system's undemocratic influence on the U.S. government.

The protesters have been camped out in New York’s old Liberty Plaza, now called Zuccotti Park, since September 17.

Among unions, the United Federation of Teachers, 32BJ SEIU, 1199 SEIU, Workers United and Transport Workers Union (TWU) Local 100 have said they will participate in the protest next Wednesday.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Wouldn't it be awesome if a democrat governor and a democrat president had to send in troops to bust-up the little glue-sniffers.

Then who would they vote for?

Teachers are going to show up when school is in session?  Who is going to teach the children?

When union thugs get involved, violence is sure to be the result.  I think this is a ploy just to get the cops to lighten up.

Teachers are going to show up when school is in session?  Who is going to teach the children?

Who gives two sh#ts about the children? Certainly not the teachers.

Look at the bright side, that is at least one less day that the kiddies get taught socialism at school.  :-)

No problem.  They can just get a phony doctor's excuse from some lefty doctor.
