That's the mooooooon! My buddy Dann just got a kick ass garden apartment with a really cool backyard. I must admit the backyard is very cool. The wierd this is that its only a couple hundred bucks cheaper than my place and maybe half the size. I'm at Carroll St. on the F. Dann's at Bedford-Nostrand on the G. Go figure.

There's John Wilhem in a wonderful labor leader pose. And there's yet another picture of Bruce Raynor. He's the general president of UNITE-HERE, or something like that.

There's a picture of John Wilhem for a change. He is the hospitality president of UNITE-HERE, or something like that.

There were too many people to get a good picture of these ladies. They're probably members of UNITE-HERE Local 23-25. They always have the coolest rally and convention gear.

Its pretty shitty to get treated like that while working an Ivy league college with a multi-million dollar endowment.

The TAs get paid per class, so a lot of them make like $20,000 per year with no benefits. At some universities, they teach like half the classes.

This rally was at Columbia University. A lot UNITE-HERE members who work at Yale in the food services and building services came down. These guys are from Local 6.

Under Clinton, they had the right to organize under the act. Bush Jr. took it away. NYU's TAs are organized and under contract.

Sometimes they are called TAs, sometimes adjuncts, whatever they are, they make slave wages and at Columbia and Yale they are on strike for a week.
