Joe Biden stands up for workers at great sacrifice to himself

I received this from the rom the AFL-CIO:
June 9, 2009

"Vice President Joe Biden says he and several high-level Obama
administration officials won't attend this weekend's U.S.
Conference of Mayors in Providence, R.I., because city Fire
Fighters will be picketing to protest Providence Mayor David
Cicilline's refusal to negotiate a fair contract. What a
difference an election makes...Dick Cheney probably would have
had his limo drive through the picket line."

Wow! What a fool I have been. I never voted for the Obama/Biden ticket. I had no idea they would sacrifice so much for working people. Why wasn't I aware of this?

This proves that the Democrats are clearly in the camp of working people. Doesn't it?

No. I'm just kidding. This publicity ploy is for the Labor leadership and the liberals that cling to their coattails. Workers see it for what it is. Anyway, the fair contract that will be negotiated is a contract "fair" to the bosses in a so-called bad economy. The Union leaders atop the AFL-CIO will ensure that the necessary concessions are made, as long as the firefighters don't do what the city workers here in San Francisco did---vote a concessionary deal down. The Union leaders corrected that though---took them another concessionary contract; the members were just "confused" announced the Labor heads.

At some point though my brothers and sisters, you've got to do more than just vote.
