Whose side are you on?

Bob Morris links to the International Workers of the World successful organization of Starbucks employees.

This past Fall after protracted pressure from the IWW, Starbucks issued yet another nationwide wage increase. While the combination of precarious hours and a still-low wage leaves many baristas in poverty, it’s gratifying that more money is ending up in workers’ pockets because of the IWW campaign. Indeed, many New York City baristas have seen an unprecedented wage gain of almost 25% in just over two and a half years of Wobbly organizing.

My grandfather and great grandfather both were Wobblies here in the Oregon organization of the mills and the woods eighty some years ago. The name of my business and my business icon have their origines there (and when I figure out how to post the icon and link it to the IWW website I will).

Bush’s plagiarization of “you’re either with us…” or with the “terrorists’ has cracked me up from the gitgo. Does the stupid sub-human, or its equally stupid sub-human handlers, know they are using a Socialist (read commie pinko) slogan?
