As long as they pick up their litter and behave themselves, why not?
Said AFL-CIO union boss Arlene Holt Baker ".....“The AFL-CIO is determined that the Tea Party and its corporate backers are not going to get the final word,” said AFL-CIO executive vice president Arlene Holt Baker. “We will expect tens of thousands of union families to come.”
“We are fueled by hope and not hate,” Holt Baker said."......
LOL Many union members im sure will be required to attend. And why the need to "counter" a rally that honored soldiers, honored MLK, and talked about faith, hope, charity?!
So I guess their message will be to be against soldiers, MLK, Faith, Hope, and Charity?
More power to them if they want to hold a rally. Have no idea what their message is and Im sure they dont know either. But I look forward to hearing more and seeing how "great" their rally will be.
Yeah, some how I have a feeling that they arent exactly going to be funding it with donations and personal income.
LOL at the overtime comment. Ive never dealt with unions before until recently. With my company, we do some work for a certain government owned company that has a union. And my god, if Americans had any idea on how much money is wasted. THe over time being paid to people who drag their butts and do as little as they can so they can get into overtime pay. Unbelievable.
I don't have a problem with it at all. More power to them.
