Tessie Harrell, a mother of six who has worked at Burger King for five years explained, “If we don’t stand up today we are always going to be on the downfall.

Gregory, 68, plans to retire this year, so he chose not to seek another term. His union brothers and sisters elected him in 1974 and re-elected him every two years through 2012. Gregory started keeping his local’s books when Richard Nixon was in the White House. Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama followed. Says Gregory: Being in the u…http://www.twitpic.com/crus7s

They won’t admit it, but it is because they can—and do—pay them less. That’s why they are pushing so hard for a series of amendments from Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) that would remove provisions in the immigration bill under consideration that give qualified U.S. workers the first shot at those high-tech jobs.

I don't want to even think about it when it comes to media. It's not the place for it.” Moore says he doesn't even use his Twitter account. But he and his new, post-Sonic Youth band, Chelsea Light Moving, released their first album in Ma…http://www.twitpic.com/crv0y0
