Now, so thoroughly have the unions hijacked the #OWS movement that the SEIU even stole the ‘We Are the 99%’ slogan in its endorsement of Barack Obama’s re-election. Unsurprisingly, the SEIU did so without even bothering to ask permission of the Occupy protesters. [Note the pre-printed 99% t-shirts on SEIU bosses as they were arrested on Thursday.]
Now, after two months of coddling the anarchy-like protesters, the SEIU and CWA appear to be asserting themselves as the new leaders of the #Occupy Movement as they plans the next union-funded event: the Occupation of Capitol Hill.
I posted something about this already with a few additional articles about how the #OccupyCongress is a co-opt attempt designed to generate support for Obama's "Jobs" bill, which is really just a privatization scam designed to funnel money to corporations. (A major piece of legislation actually being a payoff? Who would have thought?!)
