Reply #2: There's 2 strikes here [View All]

1) no minimum wage

2) non-union farm workers

This doesn't exactly make labor want to get out and work their butts off. Of course, FL's not known as a pro-labor state. South FL has it's share at the hotels and other industries. But the sentiment throughout the state seems to me to be pretty anti-labor.

Reminds me of the VERY VERY first Jobs With Justice Rally at the CWA Convention in 1987. The camera guys (NABET) were on strike and we were blocking all the scab network cameras from filming anything about the rally. The network news (CNN, CBS, ABC et al) wanted footage because like 5 of the 7 or 8 1988 presidential candidates were in attendance.

But this has nothing to do with the topic of this thread ...I digress.
