Ask a Lawyer
Here's a worthwhile project from the AFL-CIO -- it's called "Ask a Lawyer."
Can my boss really do that? How many of us find ourselves asking that very question on a weekly, if not daily basis? Well now we just may get the answers we seek. Because Working America, the 1.6 million-member community affiliate of the AFL-CIO, which provides a voice for those of us denied the right to union membership on the job, has started its “Ask a Lawyer” program.
First of all, who benefits from Working America? Well, only those of us who don’t have stock options in Halliburton or stay up nights uncontrollably excited about the next day’s bank merger. The silenced majority, if you will.
It's never been easier for workers to learn about their rights. Good for the AFL-CIO.
First!
We need unions now more than ever. When the unions were strong, so was the middle-class. Now that the union membership has declined, so has membership in the middle-class. It won't get any better until all you working folks rise up and organize.
This is a great idea.About time some laywers got on the band wagon..the country really needs them in these trying times.The only good thing that comes of corrupt Admin's is the backlash...and it's already started.

Ron @ 5:
Everything is going as planned man!
these people are yrs ahead of us , yrs not weeks not months , this has all been planned for , they gotcha by the balls, elections , by the balls !
Great idea! I am on summer break from college and picked up a temporary job just to put away some extra money for my three big expenses: clothes, pot and alcohol :)
Anyway, some of the things that this place does have got to be illegal. I wish some of the people there would push to join one of the local unions.
Unions are the greatest tool the working class has, but I heard Michael Moore say last night only 8% of Americans belong to a union these days. EIGHT PERCENT!!!!!!!!
That is a scary figure and it shows at what lengths the corporate elite have taken over. They push this shit in the media about how unions aren't necessary and a waste of money and then the workers who are intelligent enough to push for one are seen as nuts.
And of course the Bush years have been the worst, but I never let the dems off the hook. It was Clinton who started NAFTA, which basically acted as a way to kill American unions by shipping the manufacturing jobs from unions to Mexicans. Yet another reason I do not care for the Clinton gang.
I wonder if all those now screaming about cheap illegal immigrant labor have thought about how those illegals would have a harder time finding work at unionized businesses?
Which party is it now that's been union bashing for a hundred years?
Capt. Fogg @ 9:
good point
let 's see load the justice dept with rightwingnut neocons, keep the source code to the voting machines secret and get your buddies at the doj to block any attempts to verify for tampering and and it doesn't hurt if you have the devil, darthfartwad, as vice-president.
if we don't get to the SOURCE CODE infecting the new voting machines, then shit-for-brains and darthfartwad's plans to munipulate the 2008 elections, if they don't just outright outlaw them, will be devastating.
we are faced with the most corrupt fascist bastards to ever infect the whitehouse.
impeach these bastards.
