i remember a couple of years ago there was a mayday march here in portland that got a bit rough....the next year they said if you want to cause trouble then stay away...

sad to say...I agree with art about the state of the unions...they seemed to have wimped down quite a bit....it just seems they do not know how to do it...now if all the unions in the afl-cio would strike when a local of one union would strike...that would solve alot of problems...the trouble is...Uncle Sam has some strict laws for the labour unions....
