-- Smithfield has been engaged in a long public exchange with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which has been trying to organize the plant for more than a decade. The plant is the largest hog slaughterhouse in the world, processing up to 32,000 hog a day in Tar Heel, a tiny town about 80 miles south of Raleigh.

The United Food and Commercial Workers Union accepted the NAACP’s involvement by softening its position on how the election should be conducted.
“We’re moving from saying, ‘We want this, and you want that,’ to saying, ‘We’re ready for a conversation,’” said union organizer Eduardo Pena of Lumberton. “If you get caught up in all the details when you haven’t sat down and talked, it’s not doing any good to any of the parties.”

But then again... Eduardo has this route to stick up for....
Now to cut to the chase... Rev Wright and Bill Moyers are both United Church of Christ. United Church of Christ is going FOR gay marriage and against traditional marriage according to those at the synod where this was agreed upon.
So I guess its okay to have a union of pro-union workers and Illegal Immigrant Peddlers get together to force a privately owned company to go... UNION. Buy then again, John Edwards did his own campaigning at Smithfields, so I guess it really all boils down to Gay Marriage and Why Dems have got to push Universal Healthcare for illegals, polygamists, etc..
Some prophecy, Rev Barber.
