The struggles of working people the planet over, history, politics, art, literature, music (bread yes, but roses, too...), trade unions, worker's centers, raising the minimum wage, universal health care, universal education, international solidarity, and (whew!) knocking back a few (union made) cold ones at the end of my shift.

Heroes
The countless working class men and women the world over who have had the courage and determination to provide for their family and make this world a better place to live in.
About me: I've been around since the birth of modern industry. Wherever working class people toil you will find me. Not to brag, but I'm responsible for every piece of social legislation that benefits working people; worker's comp, OSHA standards, abolition of child labor, the minimum wage, the 8 hour workday, unemployment insurance, etc. On my best days I unite working people from many different lands and cultures in one voice that demands justice. As the song goes "When the union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run there can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun."
Who I'd like to meet: Regular folks who are fed up and ready to take back some of the shit that belonged to them in the first damn place.
Thanks so much for accepting my invite! I LOVE all your friends!
