That's twice as many labor groups as attended a previous peace march in October.

Still shows that the "fight against war" is by a bunch of leftist extremists. It'd be a different story if AlGore was in the White House {shudder}

In retrospect, perhaps I should have included "(and naked women)" in the title.

Then again, that could also construe false advertisement. {GRIN}

It also is opposite to the Vietnam-era conflict between hard-hat and hippie... the addition of labor to the anti-war movement shows the fight against war in Iraq is not just backed by a bunch of people in dreadlocks.

No, it the usual collection of leftists who were too tired, or otherwise occupied, to protest while Clinton was running around blowing up more countries than any president since WWII.

In defense of the union rank and file, I don't know a single union worker (and I know very many) who doesn't think Saddam Hussein is a threat to our way of life.

The union leaders answer to Terry McAuliffe, not their union workers. And the union leaders are very well compensated for their betrayal.

Shouldn't union PEOPLE and management be working?

Oh never mind, they have deals and a lot of corruption and they're too busy STEALING our (union workers) money to actually care about the workers.
