Well Baby Saditty turns 7 months old in a day or so and you know what that means. Crawling? Nope. Sleeping thru the night? Nope! It means Mrs. Saditty returns to the road, resuming her labor related travels. I'm currently at a convention/political training in Baltimore which is loosely themed "Taking Back the Middle Class". Even though some of you may be purely upper crust **insert wink here for all of my highly paid peeps, Mrs. S ain't mad at ya!**** many of us are working people who demand equal pay for equal work. Also at the conference, we are training for a movement that will tip over the cups of the Tea Party! After the conference, I'll be on an approved hiatus from my job in order to work on a political campaign in the New Orleans area.
Truly, it is the time to find candidates to kick the incumbent Republicans AND psuedo-Democrats that are actually anit-labor out of the house! My Union as well as others are sick and tired of spending money to back candidates that get into office and then turn their backs on organized labor (Blanche From Arkansas? I see you girl and we're going to help you out of your House seat! Many will say that Unions are outdated, etc. but basically, we are working for working men and women who have families. As our pro-labor POTUS B.O. said recently, "The middle-class purchase houses and cars and keep Americans in factories, on construction sites, and in other industries employed." I'm sure you've all noticed that the middle class in America is slowly slipping away but 300 activists (including me!) plan on taking it back, one step at a time . I'll definintely be able to blog more and will keep you guys updates. Love ya'll, Mrs. S.
That's right we are NOT going to die down :)
Happy 7 months to your baby :)

You are going to be one of my new best friends! I'm interested in practicing in labor & employment law and just finished a class on Labor Law where we discussed unions and the NLRA at depth. Haven't taken a stance on things yet but would be curious as to your thoughts. And how did you get an approved hiatus to work on a political campaign? Wow....that's sweet!
