WallMart, offering a free shoe shine for every employee trampled.

WallMart, where the employee is also the welcome mat.

WallMart, the doors we sell are even cheaper than the one at the entrance.

WallMart, where trampling costs less…

Shocked and awed that Walmart security so bad and American shoppers so bad that a NY walmart employee was trampled to death yesterday at store opening.

Omg

Good morning, pups. It’s Blow and Herbert today. Mr. Blow gives us “Gay Marriage and a Moral Minority.” He presents an analysis of why blacks voted in favor of Proposition 8, and of how their vote possibly could be swayed next time around. Mr. Herbert, in “Putting a Face on Big Auto,” says “ripple effect” is too mild a term for the potentially devastating impact of a collapse among the Big Three automakers. Gail Collins is off today.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got waffles with Vermont maple syrup. We’re getting rain again today. We had a lovely slow rain yesterday, which is continuing today, and the forecast says we have a 100% chance of rain again tomorrow. YAY! Have a great day.

30 years of “me first”, since rayguns, has left us with a generation of people that have not a clue about the benefits and protections that unions provide. As for the Department of ~~Chamber of Commerce~~ Labour it is a bloody joke and no more so since the bushies have been in DC.

Good morning all.

Yes, but do you realize that over the past 30 years the history of the Labor Movement has been removed from the curriculum of our schools.

There is a whole generation of Americans who have been taught to believe that Unions are bad for workers and for business. They have no idea that many of the things that they take for granted. The 8 hour day, the 40 hour week, health insurance and pension benefits, all these things came about because unions fought for them. We must begin teaching our children about labor and good government (another thing that has been removed from curricula) again.

And let’s not even mention the Department Of Labor. The Department Of Labor might as well be called the Department of Business because over the past decade it has done nothing but protect Corporations from unionization.

Has there been discussion at FDL about specifics in the leaked SOFA translation? If accurate, seemed mighty slippery re:contractors.

It only asked me for that kind of info when I set up my account. It never asks me that for any other purpose.
