"Indy craigslist: Stand, Walk, Chant, Protest (Downtown) Date: 2011-03-01, 11:03AM EST Reply to: REDACTED - We need more men to protest this coming week. We will call in the morning on when we will need you. We pay $7.50. You will be helping out middle class workers in our State. This job is only for 4 - 6 hours at a time, usually between 3:00 PM till 7:00 PM Please send a picture when you e-mail."

my comment: if they're not paying $7.50/hr but per appearance they are probably in violation of the law. if they are paying $7.50/hr, that's not quite UNION WAGES, now is it? where's the pension and benefits? the new rule: every union protester has to pay union wages to every employee they interact with.

> more men

is that gender discrimination i see?

remember, kidlets: it's not astroturf when unions do it.

Is this for WI? If so, aren't the vast majority of teachers female? That might be why they want more guys, so that it DOESN'T look heavily tilted in favor of women, but IDK.

I know we've all screamed it silently to ourselves and we all think it and seethe over it so I don't really need to say it, but...

WHAT F***ING HYPOCRITES, GAH DAMN. 8|

And then one guy on my FB is like OOOOH LOOK AT THAT THEY TOOK THE BUDGET PART OUT OF THE BILL SO CLEARLY THIS IS JUST ABOUT STICKING IT TO THE UNIONS AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BUDGET.
Uh, how about, He'll take what he can get? Take away the bargaining they have, and then he can cut their funding. OR he can fire them. Wow. Are they forgetting that that's what is behind Door #2?

So, they're going to round up a bunch of homeless guys and bribe them to stand around and fill in the ranks so the media can report a bigger turnout? Classy.

They're cheapskates, too. Whenever I've needed to hire day labor, I've always paid $10.00 an hour, plus a tip if they don't slack.
