RALLYING THE BUREAUCRATS

Can we assume that all of the attendees will be doing this on personal time? Via badger Blogger.

 From a flyer posted on a Milwaukee County Courthouse bulletin board yesterday:


Attention: All AFSCME members – An important message from your union

 

Friday, September 10 from 4:00 – 5:30 PM, Clas Park, 10th & Wells

“Right Wing: Believe It or Not!”

A rally to set the record straight on the importance of public jobs.

Public employees are under attack by groups that want to cut services and cut jobs. Come make a stand with your AFSCME brothers and sisters to let them know ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

You can drive yourself, or ride to the rally with other members on the AFSCME buses. Bus routes will be posted at your workplace. Join us and make your voices heard!

 

The rally is apparently being organized by a group calling itself “Take Back America.” (Take it back? From whom? Their side owns and manages every arm of government, doesn’t it?) ..

Actually, we do have a question: If the J/S sends reporters to this event, will they be attending as journalists, or as union brethren? Just askin’.

    "And don't forget to wear your purple shirts, your 'feingold for senate' buttons, your 'barret for gov' goofy looking hats, your 'I love barama' signs (union printed of course)."
    Wanna bet that Milwaukee County's very own union blog hog chris "capper' liebenthal will be the first at the door?

    Enough is Enough, lifetime job security, great pay and benefits..all paid for by people that have no job security and not so great pay and benefits. Like I said, enough is enough union brothers.

    The union has BUSES? Where do they get having buses to squire their folks to events on buses? If I were still a union firefighter, I'd be asking my leadership if we were paying too much in dues.

    Just the fact you use the dismissive term "bureaucrat" proves their point.
