Video: “You get me started on Bush, you need way more film in that camera.”

These two members of the Transport Workers Union (TWU) in Philadelphia aren’t the only U.S. workers who say they got the shaft from six years of the Bush administration’s give-to-the-rich, take-from-the-middle-class policies.

Just as bad, their senator, Rick Santorum, voted 95.59 percent of the time with Bush during the 2005–2006 session of Congress. Santorum’s votes with Bush—and all members of Congress—now are ranked at the Hill Monitor, where you can see how often—or not—your lawmakers voted with an administration that makes handouts to Big Business and the wealthy a top priority.

In Pennsylvania, working families have a candidate for Senate they can support: Bob Casey. The state secretary of the treasury supports a minimum wage increase and prevailing wage laws that guarantee a fair wage. He opposes unfair trade agreements like the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) that send our jobs overseas.

As senator, Santorum tried to eliminate the 40-hour workweek and cut overtime pay and opposed creating new jobs protected by prevailing wages.

3. I don't know...

to me they seemed kind of whiny (tone-wise) and could have done a better job covering more topics in more detail in that amount of time. They could have done far better. I'd give it a 5.

4. The last two Union workers in Philadelphia speak!

They evidently hang out together in the nearly-vacant Union hall all day.

Seriously, if this was intended to be a political film, the filmmaker should have gathered about fifteen or twenty different union members to deliver their opinions, instead of Wheeler and Woolsey standing in a vacant lot.

5. Need more to come out swinging against the pigs in power.

Keep on fighting, fellow workers.
