#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty OCCUPYING COOPER UNION TO KEEP IT FREE http://www.vice.com/read/occupying-cooper-union-to-keep-it-free The windows of Cooper Union's historic Foundation Building in Manhattan's East Village are awash with calls to “keep it free” in large lettering, espousing the virtues of gratis learning. Inside, about 50 students and university faculty are occupying the office of the school's president. They've been at it since yesterday morning, when a scrum of teachers and students dissatisfied with a decision by the school's Board of Trustees to begin charging tuition… RELATED: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/08/cooper-union-presidents-office-occupy-tuition_n_3239403.htmlhttp://www.twitpic.com/cq7sbx

Lawmakers in Michigan are still pushing a bill that would keep cities and towns from making their own decisions about paid sick days laws. We call them “preemption bills”— restaurant lobbyists and their allies call it the “kill shot” to paid sick days… RELATED: http://workingamerica.tumblr.com/http://www.twitpic.com/cokot2
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty While Wronged Homeowners Got 0 Apiece in Foreclosure Settlement, Consultants Who Helped Protect Banks Got Billion http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/while-wronged-homeowners-got-300-apiece-in-foreclosure-settlement-consultants-who-helped-protect-banks-got-2-billion-20130426 The obscene greed-and-arrogance stories emanating from Wall Street are piling up so fast, it's getting hard to keep up. This one is from last week, but I missed it – it's about the foreclosure/robo-signing settlement that was concluded earlier this year. The upshot of this story is that in advance of that notorious settlement, the government ordered banks to hire “independent” consultants to examine their loan files to see just exactly how corrupt they were. Now it comes out that not only were these consultants not so independent, not only did th…http://www.twitpic.com/cmpa7x

The latest is that a group of 20 or so people have been wrangling with Dane County Parks officials as they try to find a legal place to camp since leaving a privately owned site last week. When parks officials on Friday challenged the legality of their encampment at Lake Farm Park on the south side of Madison, some confused squabbling over campground rules followed.

I live in Mayfield, Ky., population about 10,000. A big Continental General Tire plant was our factory. It’s been gone for a half-dozen years. Some local merchants, hurting for customers, are still blaming the “greedy union,” United Steelworkers (USW) Local 665, for the plant’s demise. Nationwide, unions are handy scapegoats everywhere companies have shut factories and shipped production to low-wage countries. Never mind that over and over, American unions have done all they could to help keep their plants open. Why wouldn't they? Th…http://www.twitpic.com/cjfwzq
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty OSHA Report: 72% Of Construction Fatalities In NYC in 2012 on NON-UNION Jobs! #1U Non-Union Kills! More: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/construction_destruction_0TBHXeEDd7w8ZRd2iwBbzH Please note, in looking for data on UNION/NONUNION percentages the first link I have found thus far is from Socialist Worker. According to Socialist Worker, Nonunion in NY has 40% of the market share as of Aug 2012. This number is extremely difficult to measure as a huge portion of non-union contractors do not keep proper books on their workers. My heart goes out to all the families affected. http://socialistworker.org/2012/08/21/constructing-concessionshttp://www.twitpic.com/cip754

They came as a Weibo user blew the whistle on Nanjing's Gulou Hospital when he posted a photo of what appears to be a diagnosis of a patient, one of the four new cases. The profile of user “Phoenix” says he is an administrative director at the hospital. And in Hong Kong, Health Secretary Ko Wing-man said the government will step up temperature checks at the border, especially for people from Shanghai and Anhui province. Ko said private clinics have been alerted to keep the Department of Health informed of suspected case…http://www.twitpic.com/cgs7ik
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Like Nixon to China, It Takes a Democrat to Put the First Knife in #SocialSecurity — http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2013/04/like-nixon-to-china-it-takes-a-democrat-to-put-the-first-knife-in-social-security.html First, make no mistake, both parties want to gut or kneecap Social Security. On the right (which is to say, among the rulers of the Republican party, not the voters) the Trust Fund is a big fat fruit, ripe for plucking and eating — .7 trillion and counting. That’s a lot of money to divert into the stock market, as Bush II tried to do in 2005. He was beaten back, partly because he was a Republican (keep that part in mind); but he gave it the college try. On the “left” (as the Neoliberal rulers of the Dems like to brand themselves), the push is no less strong, but with slightly different changes on offer. The Wall Street billionaires would love to steal the Trust Fund outright, but you can’t sell that to Democratic voters, so when the “left” is in power, they don’t try to kill it so much as kneecap it, hobble it, cut its little hamstrings to keep it from walking. The first Neoliberal president — the man who led the corporatization of the Democratic party — was Bill Clinton. He was also the first Democrat to rule after 12 years of Republican “revolution” that started in 1980, the year when everything changed. (Yes, you could call Carter a proto-neoliberal and be right, but that’s a tweak for this discussion.) Clinton started the push to “fix” Social Security from the “left. #Occupy Collapse this posthttp://www.twitpic.com/cgrons
#union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Thanks to the thousands of you who participated in LabourStart's third annual survey of trade union use of the net. http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f3995b46c18cb039818f29a32&id=3a5bcefbcf&e=877c808edc Over 3,000 of you participated this year and as promised, we're sharing the results with you and your unions. Here are some highlights of what we learned: More and more of you use tablets and smartphones – though your unions haven't tended to keep up, with very few of them creating applications specifically designed for small screens. Very large numbers of you are using social networks other than Facebook – most notably Google+ and LinkedIn. But your unions, which have been pretty good about using Facebook and Twitter, have largely ignored those …http://www.twitpic.com/cgjvah
