And there are also plenty of people who can TAKE YOUR JOB as well. The point is to stand together as working people so that we may all enjoy decent lives.\r\n\r\nI'm sorry to have to tell you this Bonzo... but the bosses don't care about you, they only love their profits. If they can take away the benefits the grocery workers have... then they can take your benefits away as well. \r\n\r\nIf you don't support the grocery workers, if you don't stand up for every worker... then one day you are going to wake up and find YOU have been &quot;downsized&quot; with your health plan, overtime, paid vacations, workman's compensation, and other hard won rights taken from you. \r\n\r\nOne day you may even wake up to find your job has been taken overseas... because you see, as a CHUMP, you don't realize that the multi-millionaire bosses you fawn over and support couldn't care less about &quot;patriotism&quot;, &quot;americanism&quot; and all the other tricks you've fallen for.... they go where the money is, and if that means BREAKING AMERICA'S ECONOMIC BACK so as to make huge profits overseas, well, so be it.\r\n\r\nBonzo... are you old enough to remember the 1980's national campaign of &quot;Buy American&quot;? Industry and Unions mounted television ads that urged people to look for a &quot;made in the USA&quot; tag on merchandise. Ever wonder why you don't hear &quot;Buy American&quot; anymore? BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN SCREWED BY THE MILLIONARE BOSSES.\r\n\r\nWake up and smell the class war. The bosses are taking everything from you. Open your eyes. Stand up.","author":"Chimp wrangler","parent_id":95693,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","created":"2003-11-30 19:36:07","modified":"2005-08-15 01:48:34","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2003\/11\/strike_.jpg","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2003\/11\/strike_.jpg"}},{"id":96042,"heading":"Do you shop at Wal Mart?","article":"If these Union fools really believe in what they are saying then they should not shop at Wal Mart or any other Non union store.
