Viral Video: What pro-labor fights do you care about?

This pro-labor video is uplifting, creative, and it's gone viral!

Watch it, get inspired, and tell us which pro-labor issues YOU would help with. (After you push submit, you'll see video share options.):

The latest Pew Research Survey has found that as Republican governors has been busting unions over the last two years, union favorability has risen from 41% to 51%.

It fell 1% among conse(R)vatives.

Favorability rose in every other demographic.

Nice to have some good news on Labor Day, eh?

Every day could be a labor day holiday with news like that. Corp(se)oRATists continue suicide - update at 11

According to Pew, support for unions has risen most among liberal Democrats (67% to 80%), moderate to conservative Democrats (56%-70%), moderate to liberal Republicans (34%-44%), and Independents (36%-44%). Union support has fallen slightly with conservative Republicans (24%-23%)

Why am I not surprised.

This is good to hear, I fully encourage Pro-Union public opinion and, better yet, ACTION!

But

I believe it was a PEW report on the policies of then-POTUS Ronnie Fucking Raygun which found a substantial majority NOT IN FAVOR (abjectly against) Raygun's disastrous, nation-killing policies! But they Voted for him anyway!

Let's talk about "backfiring" when Cons get booted out of Gerrymandered districts and Union Jobs start rebounding significantly!

Here's the charts to show what we've lost, in the ongoing attacks on unions, collective bargaining, and union organizing.
