Solidarity in Kansas

Nathan Newman highlights an inspiring story of solidarity in Kansas, as workers there walked off the job in solidarity with other workers who a Dodge City meatpacking plant tried to discipline for missing work to show their support for real solutions to the immigration issue. Many of the policies being discussed in Washington are designed to pit workers against each other. And employers readily join in. No matter what your position on the immigration bills, people still have First Amendment rights to express themselves in this country - without fear of economic retribution. And it is truly inspiring to see workers reject these divisive intimidation tactics and stick together to fight for their collective rights.
