Roll Call: Union Members & Labor Activists - Please Check In Here..

[radio4progressives]

Just need to know how many are here, cuz we need to stratigize big time..

If you are present, simply indicate by saying "here" or "present" ..

In order to keep this roll call "readable" - i'm going to try and avoid responding to people checking in, unless necessary to keep it on the radar screen.

What I will do is open a new thread for strategy discussion, if there is sufficient numbers of union/labor - members/activists to make discussion a practical/worthwhile activity.

14. Hadn't realized there was a forum..

and if I didn't maybe others haven't realized it either.

I'll keep this roll call going for the rest of the day or weekend (depending on other activity) but we need to bring to the fold other workers who do not realize they have a stake in what's going on and we'll need to work/organize together.
