A appreciation thread that is really deserving, Heres to you Omaha Steve!

Your tirelessly posting of great articles in LBN, your hosting of LBN. You were great at it. We were sorry to see you retire early as a host. Please keep up the great work that you do and know that it does not go unnoticed.

Here's to you.

one of the best guys on DU. Works tirelessly for labor. Posts regularly in our socialist progressives and labor movement groups. Always kind. He's good people.

He posts a lot in LBN, and like every LBN poster once in a while you are going to post a duplicate, or an analysis piece and get a post locked. If he did, he would always PM me and say... I'm so sorry, I didn't see the other one. Sometimes he will PM and ask ahead of time what I think about a possible LBN post. He never once complained about a locked post.
He's a dear man.

I have read a few of Omaha Steve's pro-union posts and the favorable publicity he inspires is a fine nod to a just cause.

He got his name in the ballot and let the voters decide. That took guts.

One of the leading DU experts on organized labor.

Here's to you, OS! And to Marta for putting up with you!

OS you are truly the voice of labor here at DU. I retired six years ago but still pay my union dues as I stand in solidarity with labor. Thank you for your service here and in the outside world.
