Wow, what a pantload on non

Wow, what a pantload on non information. Like my grandpa used to say, some people don't know, others ain't got a clue. Both those guys talk out both sides of their mouths. I mean, somehow defending ANY union who doesn't get behind what OW is doing hasn't a clue. Not so with Clarence Thomas, bless his true union soul.
Look at what both guests said, OW should have "conferred" with ILWU when they both admitted ILWU's hands were tied because of contracts. With the economic climate we are in right now that's been going on for 40yrs, they both admit unions are hanging on by a thread. And name me a union who, in their last contract didn't throw new employee's under the bus, cutting their bennie's and their wages, just so the old guys can retire. There were ILWU members at the OW meetings, and the strike was proposed by ILWU members up north. So WHAT was that whole "conversation" about??? Just made you think, once again, OW "has lost their way" just because somebody got scared. Well bless all those young people who see, the gravy train done left, and ain't nobody going to even give you a fair shake. Obviously them old white men in Congress are getting scared too because you KNOW anybody who even thinks that OW is good, is going to be called a terrorist. Democracy my butt.
