we need all extra money out of politics. PERIOD, each person that legally has a right to vote or donate money fully has that right protected... WE the People do NOT NEED Corporations or Unions in the bribing business... i repeat.. every citizen that does already have a right to do this, can and will. We the People do not need outside money just to currupt either party.
There are two sides to every story and this one is from someone who did not get the 28 day notice but is still considered undocumented. First of all, I work there and this article is biased. Secondly, even before workers were notified that they needed to prove they could work in the U.S. legally, people were harassing each other claiming "la migra" was coming for EVERYONE. Then, ICE came in (two agents to be precise; NOT the "migra") to interview every single worker, including supervisors, managers, EVERYONE. There were a couple of polish workers who were complaining how Latinos thought "la migra" was only coming for them when everyone was being interviewed. The interviewers requested that you tell them your name, social security number and birthdate. They told me that the reason they were doing the interviewing was because some data was inconsistent: some S.S. numbers did not exist or birthdates/names were wrong. They called everyone into their interviewing room and many people did not speak when they were asked those same questions (and yes, they had translators available in case you are wondering). It turns out that, while I was waiting for my turn, I overheard some people saying to each other "No digas nada" ("Don't say anything"), which is not going to help their case at all. Then, after some were given 28 days to prove they were able to legally work in the company OR that they were in the process of legalizing their status, they left work early to picket outside. Okay, you'd say, they can picket BUT the few people that did not receive the 28-day-notice were threatened by these same picketers. Cops had to be called because current workers are concerned for their safety. Every time I approach the entrance door I am insulted by a few picketers. And in case you are wondering, I myself, don't have legal papers to work in this factory (or anywhere else) but I can't believe how far this lie has been outstretched! By the way, the union options they gave us cannot help these ex-employees and there is such a thing as a bad union. Thanks for reading.
This is a consequence of the BIPARTISAN corporate assault on citizens. The WTO agreements were FORCED on the American people by the Clinton Administration (along with NAFTA).
If you've been voting for either of the two corporate-funded parties, then THIS IS *YOUR* FAULT!
<b>The Green Party is the progressive alternative.</b> The Green Party doesn't accept corporate money and represents the 99%.
5% of the vote will get the Green Party matching Federal funds.
Your Green vote sends a message to the corporate parties that passing MORE corporate laws that destroy OUR freedoms will cost them votes.
And this message is sent even if the Green you vote for loses.
VOTE GREEN!
I've noticed that the "country of Origin" information on food had vanished at the supermarket a short while back. This is total BS that we are not allowed to know where our food comes from. People have to wake up and realize that pesticides and food handling are NOT regulated in other countries. Have you seen the total lack of pollution regulations in China. You probably saw it on environmental TV programs. Why on earth then would you buy farm raised tilapia from China ? Since we now are a member of the WTO, this information is no longer allowed to be printed on our labels.
Tell your senator we want OUT of the WTO !
