Come one, come all!  Get yer free boxed lunch and poncho (don't want to get wet)!  We'll even reimburse wages!  Doesn't that sound like fun?  Oh, and don't forget the vulgar signs.  Bring the kiddies along too!  It'll be a blast!  No, this really is THE grassroots movement - nothing like those Tea Party astroturf people.

There appears to be efforts from unions to get more members to beat the drum today in Trenton. According to an e-mail obtained by The Star-Ledger, CWA Local 1038 is preparing for the rally with boxed lunches, leaflets and ponchos because of the expected rain.

The union is also offering to reimburse wages for anyone who takes a half-day off to participate in the rally.

"You must use your own time, either vacation or AL (administrative leave), and give the local a photocopy of your paystub. Please note that the payment for lost-time wages will be mailed to you; it will not be paid tomorrow," the e-mail states.

Vacation or administative leave. Sounds like they are - being given

[ In Reply To ..]
permission to take the time off to attend the rally if they choose to do so, but clearly they are expected to pay for that time with their own vacation or AL pay. It really irks you that thousands of union members, workers and fellow citizens are about the descend on the capitol in NJ and exercise their 1st Amendment rights, huh?

BTW, do you have any idea what Webster was going to pay those agitators to infiltrate tens of thousands of peaceful protesters in WI and stir up a little trouble before he busted himself wide open on that viral phone call with his fake bossman? Bet THEY weren't going to pay their own way and, in fact, probably would have milked the situation for all it was worth.

I Was In A Union As An In-house MT.Feb 23, 2011
We were lumped in a group with the housekeepers and the nurses. Union membership was mandatory for employment and dues were taken directly out of our paychecks. Our local reps said they could only negotiate for 1 group a year out of our 3 departments, but every time our turn came around the nurses weren't happy and the union would negotiate for them again. Of course this was 10 years ago, but we made from $8.10 per hour to a max of $12.39 per hour, but we did only have to pay $50 a ...
