   Ha. Here I read that on the bus and thought I’d submit the news to you…and you’re already linking me back to it!

   I’m thinking about playing up the Bank of America angle in a post to the bankimplode.com forums just because.

   (By the way, when I use Internet Explorer 7, if I forget to type in all the details for comments, when I try to go back to fill them in, my post is no longer in the “Comment” box.)

   Rebel Diaz produced an awesome version of that song last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Dr05tXktSo

   I’m plugging these workers on the radio tonight for the whole first half hour of our show. Pretty amazing that they’re getting the level of (largely positive) attention in the corporate media that they are. I guess a supportive statement from the president-elect helps too. I just hope they’re not co-opted somehow, or waited out by the bosses. FSRN did an interview with one of the union’s members and he said he’s got a family to feed, that he’s running out of money. I wonder if they’re considering running the factory/company themselves, like workers in Argentina did after the 2001 financial collapse there, or if that’s even an option in this case…
