Class Warfare:

"It's payback time in Sacramento. When newly elected Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger unilaterally imposed draconian budget cuts on the state just before Christmas, he wiped out this year's remaining funding for the Institute for Labor and Employment. If he does the same thing with next year's appropriation in March, the institute will be destroyed. "

"Labor studies programs around the country are watching what is happening to the ILE in California with trepidation. Conservative foundations have been orchestrating a national attack on labor studies. If the opponents of the ILE prevail, activist-oriented programs in Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri and other states will be next on the right-wing hit list."

This reminds me of the lack of labor consciousness among friends and family of mine; it is amzing. I mentioned the Borders strike to a friend of mine of the other day; about how I couldn't shop there right now. And she kinda laughed and said I was "funny."

Oh speaking of Borders strike, appears that they are keeping track of emails and phone calls so go hit up their comments page.
