Bob King UAW

"“The Tea Party has been more vocal than we’ve been,” he said. “There is something wrong with that picture.”"

Taken from Bob Herbert.

The Tea Party is looking to the past, the workers movement is looking to the future.

When this system starts to crumble, I hope the likes of King and not the (Ron and Rand) Pauls win.

Ron and Rand are not Cheek and Chong!

Herbert ends his note this way.

"Bob King has a vision that draws upon the lessons of that postwar period, starting with the basic right of workers to organize if they wish without being terrorized by employers. It was the fact that workers were organized in the auto and other manufacturing industries that sparked the creation of a large middle class in America. Those well-paying union jobs allowed working families to buy a home, to put their children through school, to build better lives.

The wages from those jobs fueled the consumer demand that powered America’s economic success.

Even as he looks toward the future, Mr. King is trying to remind us of what went right in the past."
