Wake Up, You're Dreaming.
Edited on Thu Nov-20-08 03:02 PM by cryingshame
Regular guy at work has a group of CEOs in suits come up to him. Each Suit giving him something wonderful- higher wage, full coverage health care, better working conditions.

Regular guy shakes a CEO's hand, glowing at this fabulous treatment from Management ....

Then Regular Guy wakes up to find he's in bed and shaking his dog's hand.

THIS WAS AN ACTUAL TV AD on last night from Labor on MSNBC last night, came on right after Congressman Wamp was on Matthews show talking about Tennessee having Right to Work laws and how that landed them Volkswagon in their state.

The tag line was like "if you think Management will just give you fair wages and benefits, you're dreaming. Support the right to Organize"

Labor better get on the fucking ball and run these ads non-stop. It's time to kick the crap out of the "Right to Work" states and politicians who support it.

Labor needs to reframe the issue.

And I wish I could find that ad on Youtube but no luck.

5. I'm seeing this ad on TV all the time.
It gets the point across very effectively.

They've never given us anything; everything workers have, they organized and fought for. The corps would take it all away tomorrow if they thought they could get away with it.
