:woohoo:

The Communications Workers of America and Amalgamated Transit Union have added their support to Occupy Wall Street.

ATU locals in the New York area as well as the International Union will be providing support to the movement through donations of food and other supplies, physically engaging in protests, and getting the message out to the public. ATU locals around the country plan to ramp up support by participating in similar Occupy events across the country.

(Note that the ATU is a different union than the Transport Workers Union, which had already offered support to Occupy Wall Street and has gone to court to prevent the city from forcing bus drivers to transport arrested protesters.)

The CWA had already been reported to be planning to join in Wednesday's rally on a local level, but now the union is officially endorsing Occupy Wall Street at the national level:

8. It looks like it. We'll see soon enough.

1968 doesn't seem that long ago from here. :)

11. '68 was the year that my cynicsm about politics was born.

Chicago showed me that politics and politicians are a bad bet as agents of change. I'm hoping that the politicians stay out of this or it will be watered down, bought out, sold out, and corrupted.

And, I hope the demonstrators/movement avoid the politicians that will only offer more of the same with adjustments to buy them out and settle for less.

13. A lot of people had the same reaction to the events of that year.

These kids are also facing the biggest, most corrupt mass media on the planet, far beyond what existed back then. Let's see how they do.

16. I love this. We're undoing 30 years of REAGAN!

How can anyone laud Reagan after what he and his handlers did and have continued to do to workers' rights and the middle class!?

What is the PC command for "UNDO"? I want a T-shirt! :rofl:
