Ohio Labor Movement Defeats Anti-Union Bill and Its Wealthy Supporters

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: 'Ohio s labor movement is celebrating today after voters dealt a hefty blow to Republican Gov. John Kasich on Tuesday by overwhelmingly voting to repeal an anti-collective bargaining law he championed during the past year. Ohioans voted to repeal Senate Bill 5 (SB 5) by a margin of 61 to 38 percent. SB 5 would have limited collective bargaining rights for more than 350,000 public workers in Ohio and increased health care and pension costs for some workers.'

Occupy Movement Inspires Unions to Embrace Bold Tactics

Steven Greenhouse, The New York Times News Service: 'Organized labor s early flirtation with Occupy Wall Street is starting to get serious. Union leaders, who were initially cautious in embracing the Occupy movement, have in recent weeks showered the protesters with help - tents, air mattresses, propane heaters and tons of food. The protesters, for their part, have joined in union marches and picket lines across the nation. About 100 protesters from Occupy Wall Street are expected to join a Teamsters picket line at the Sotheby s auction house in Manhattan on Wednesday night to back the union in a bitter contract fight.'

David Bacon, Truthout: 'Grassroots people and political activists occupy parks in Bellingham and Tacoma, Washington, to support the New York City demonstration, Occupy Wall Street. Occupiers erect and live in tent camps to protest economic inequality and its impact on working people, students, the poor and the young, calling it a protest by the 99 percent of the people who are exploited by a system that only benefits the top 1 percent.'

11/10/11

Casey: 'I am, clearly, one of the 1%. So are you. In fact, almost everyone who has worked hard, saved money, and not invested it unwisely is at least in the top 10%. What the OWS people are angry about - or should be angry about - are the people who made their money through government contacts, or connections. They didn t produce anything; they are really just sophisticated thieves. I have only contempt for those who feed at the public trough...

Occupy movement is spreading and growing

Our Future
by Dave Johnson

11/08/11

Our captured government won t do its job. It doesn t keep Wall Street and banks and giant corporations from ripping us off and doesn t prosecute them after they do. It doesn t stop polluters - even as the effects of climate change increase. It doesn t enforce employment and labor laws, so all of us who work fall further and further behind. It doesn t take care of those in need even as more and more of us are in greater and greater need. It just helps the connected rich get richer. So people finally got fed up, and started 'occupying'...
