All public employees throughout the US should wear a ribbon in solidarity |
|
for those public employees whose CBA's( collective bargaining agreements and collective bargaining right itself) are under attack
The color of ribbon is open to suggestion in this thread

Great idea. State workers in Colorado never had collective bargaining. The last governor signed a bill allowing it and then left office. I don't know what will happen with it.
I'm retired but am all for showing support like this. :thumbsup:
