[Mpls] Minnesota Bus Strike-a cold West Virginia?

[Ed Fesler]

    Did anybody else see Gov. Pawlenty's comments on
the KSTP At Issue program?

   Maybe somebody could publish a transcript of
Pawlenty's harsh comments on the bus strike. It sounds
like Pawlenty wants a long strike.

   If the Transit Workers lose after a long, bitter
strike it will be a disaster for other unions in
Minnesota.

   The stakes are high and getting higher every day. 

   Can Labor and the DFL and progressives and liberals
protect the interests of low income people? If not,
what are we doing?

   This strike could turn into a metropolitan version
of a West Virginia coal strike. 

   About 15 years ago there was very long bitter
strike against the Pittston Coal Co. The union
eventually won.

   We don't need this in Minnesota!
