The media, the government and corporate America wants us to believe that working people are the reason for the state of the economy.

The bankers and the brokers are taking home million dollar bonuses.

After hundreds of billions of dollars in government bail out for the bankers and brokers, zero dollars for health care, zero dollars for education and zero dollars for infrastructure.

The failure of government has been put on the back of working people.

It’s time to stand up and join the fight.

CWA and the AFL-CIO will be having a Rally in Trenton on the steps of the Statehouse on Friday at 12 Noon. The rally will be in support of our Brothers and Sisters who are fighting for their lives and their Unions in Wisconsin. The rally will also be a demonstration to the Governor of New Jersey that his ongoing attack on Collective Bargaining for our members and all Public Sector Union Members will be met with the same vehemence as what’s going on in Wisconsin.

It is vitally important for the survival of the Labor Movement and the survival of the Middle Class that we all come together not only Unions but also every group that has a stake in saving the American Dream.

Make no mistake if they succeed in Wisconsin and New Jersey they will be coming for the private sector unions and the rest of the Middle Class next.

On Friday February 25, 2011 – Every Union member should wear RED and we should encourage everyone who supports the American Dream to wear RED in support of our Rally IN Trenton and the Fight in Wisconsin. 

Get on the Bus! We are sending buses to New Jersey to stand with our Sisters and Brothers against tyranny in Wisconsin and in New Jersey.

The local is providing three buses for the trip to Trenton, NJ.

The buses will be leaving from:

275 Seventh Ave., 9:30 am
