In Santa Monica, California, today Thursday, February 19th, six women and four men got arrested in an organized civil disobedience action in support of the grocery striking workers. Other similar actions were taking place at the same time at different locations in Los Angeles.

Public figures showed up to support the strikers. The former mayor of Santa Monica was among the people arrested. Also the actress Jamie Lee Curtis joined the march from 3rd Street Promenade to the Vons on Lincoln and Broadway where the civil disobedience action took place.

SMPD prevented People from interfering with the arrests. Union leaders had asked their members not to follow the police or the people arrested. That is a strong departure from the actions that took place during the civil right movement era or the populist movement during the 1930's. In those times nobody would get left behind. Everybody would follow the Police to the police station and picket there until the people were released from jail.

What kind of union would ask its members to leave their best fighters behind? A CORRUPTED UNION WOULD!

Jamie Lee Curtis supports the grocery working strikers at the march in Santa Monica (in pink and black)

So when marching around doesn't work, and harrsing customers doesn't work, and yelling scab doesn't work and getting Jessie "I like a little some some on the side" Jackson doesn't work, you assholes block the store entrance. You are pathetic.

having no scrupples except your own self interest and
crossing the line is a sure sign of weakness on your
part, scabasshole.

and don't start with the pathetic "i gotta feed my
family too" bullshit. where do you think the strikers
are coming from? you just don't know what sacrifice
is since your just a slave to the corporate whores
who cut our health care and will one day cut yours

grow some balls before you talk

It takes more balls to work non union since you get paid what the market rate is. The problem with you banna scanners is that you have been way overpaid for years and now you insist on dragging the public into your fight. Why don't you dick knobs grow some balls and find another job if you think you are being treated unfairly?

I see no evidence of any significant public support for the strikers.

The 'public' seems to be stifling a yawn.

Why would the public support an unjustified crock of bullshit like this strike?

This is about the best advertisement Corporate America could possibly get.

there are soooo many other important struggles going on in the world....why not focus on those issues.

I've just been "ordered" to tell you that you have said nothing of substance. It's part of my extensive neuro-programming regimen, which cleverly masquerades as FUCKING COMMON SENSE.

This type of post seems to be a pattern among the more smug folks in the forum. You are tossing out the logic equivalent of a TV-dinner. Substantiate it, or go away please.
