AFSCME Pres. Lee Saunders issued the following statement in regards to the situation in Ferguson, Missouri:
The thoughts and prayers of our union, AFSCME, are with the family of Michael Brown. As parents, as community members, and as members of a union that works each day for economic and social justice, our hearts go out to them.
Our union stands in solidarity with the entire Ferguson community. And we stand with our labor and faith allies to urge a peaceful resolution to this tragic situation.

Not a word of support for Darren Wilson, who unlike the late Michael Brown, is almost certainly a union brother?
“economic and social justice”
No further comment.
Ferguson, a leftist cause made to order...or contrived and contorted to fit the order.
All the usual suspects (and I mean that literally) are lining up....
The bunch of goons and scum supported by "Republican" Martin Luther King during his last days alive. That so-called "Reverend" wasn't winning souls for Christ while he was in Memphis along with his friend, Jesse Jackson. No, both of those race baiters stood shoulder-to-shoulder and arm-in-arm with the commie union thugs of AFSCME.
and by “Ferguson community” they mean all those out of towners who came to riot and loot.
I’d like to know how many of the rank-and-file members are on board with this. That, of course, will never be revealed.
I’m going to guess somewhere between 1% and 5%.
What are they? Hookers? Pimps? Drug pushers? What?
AFSCME represents Sheriff’s Deputies.
I once belonged as a state employee at a workforce center and before that as a security officer at an air base.
This why UNIONS SUCK and need to be starved of union dues and die.
