List of Unions Supporting Occupy Wall Street

[LeighAnn]

I've seen it written and heard it said over and over that the Occupy Wall Street protesters are hippies, deadbeats, unemployed, fringe radicals, etc., etc.

Nope, these are hard working nurses, pilots, transit workers, the people who teach our children

National Transit Union
United Steelworkers of America
Amalgamated Transit Union
United Federation of Teachers
National Nurses United
Communication Workers of America
Operational Weather Squadron
New York Transit Union
United Pilots Union
Teamsters Union
Local 802 American Federation of Musicians NYC
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka
L.A. County AFL-CIO

Wall Street's champagne sippers will have lots of time to think about things when they're not watching the Broadway show they've so been looking forward to tomorrow night.

And as the workers of America join the stalwarts of the movement over the coming days, perhaps Corporate America might realize for the first time that they might be staring down the barrel of a general strike.
