Inspired by the words of these titans of the labor movement in America and inspired by the success of Man Eegee’s United Nations project, I proposed a few weeks ago that we, as a community, delve in to the rich, but unheralded history of the labor movement and its leaders. I further proposed that we use this series of diaries to look at the current plight of workers in America.
Promoted by Steven D. I’m looking forward to this series of diaries.
Fortunately, several stalwart BTers accepted the proposal. Be sure to look for these diaries over the coming days.

And now, I’m off to work.
