Las Vegas Union Goons Protest On Wisconsin's Behalf

From The Las Vegas Sun: Union members gathered in downtown Las Vegas on Monday to deliver a forceful message to state officials: Efforts like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s plan to strip public workers of collective bargaining rights won’t be tolerated in Nevada.
“Let them hear it in Wisconsin,” said Neil Lake, president of AFSCME Local 4041. “Let them hear it in Carson City.”
Amid chants of “kill the bill,” “solidarity” and “keep collective bargaining,” about 1,000 demonstrators from public and private sector unions rallied outside the Grant Sawyer Building, vowing to work together to oppose perceived attacks on the middle class.
“There should be no reason why the working class can’t do good for themselves,” Lake said. “They continue to beat us down.”
The rally also drew local politicians, including former Rep. Dina Titus and Clark County Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani.
“The reason that we’re here is because we care,” Titus told the crowd. “We care about this state. We care about the nation.”

First, to have Dina Titus at this rally while she is making $107,000+ for teaching 1 class and working 6 hours a week is more than disgusting. She cares about the middle class as much as the head of the Wisconsin state teachers union who makes significantly more than the teachers she represents.
For the stupidest comment from a protester: AFSCME member Sherri Thompson said union members need to “stick together” in the down economy — the worst she has seen during her 44 years in Las Vegas.
“It’s really bad out there,” said Thompson, who works in an unemployment office. “There are not a lot of good prospects to help the general public.”
So, Sherri Thompson, apparently works for the state of Nevada in an unemployment office. Umm, Ms. Thompson, you don't have collective bargaining rights as an employee of the State of Nevada. If things are that bad for you, why are you working for the state for 44 years?
So, a pitiful amount of people came to rally for Wisconsin. Pitiful because all of the government workers in Clark County, with the exception of first responders, had the day off because of Presidents Day. What a joke.
