Dianavan, would that I could be there with you. I would love to walk the line, and entertain the strikers.

For this we can thank the good ole USA. As a result of the tactics of Walmart, and other big businesses, they have managed to widen the gap between rich and poor, and destroy fairly negotiated pensions and benefits. And now they are exporting this attitude to countries like Canada and Germany.

I am with Mooh and others on this. When they froze the Union treasury, they took a position against the workers and their collective bargaining representative. They took unfair advantage of their statutory powers to destroy the Union. They have no more right to the assets of the Union, than they have to your personal property.

Sometimes the law doesn't serve the people. At these times people of conscience and dedication must choose to ignore the law no matter the cost.

Call the General Strike. There should not be a car moving, a train running, a bus running, a plant operating, or a store selling until this thing is resolved.

I do so wish I could be there in person, but know that I am with you in solidarity.

Mick
