BANGOR, Maine — The Eastern Maine Labor Council levied its support behind Occupy Bangor demonstrators Friday, arguing that the government’s economic practices have backed financial institutions and large corporations while leaving behind struggling middle-class workers.

The EMLC, which represents 34 unions with more than 6,200 members, voted unanimously Monday to endorse the Occupy movement, according to EMLC President Jack McKay.

The Union is attacking it's own; Bailouts for UAW, and handouts of jobs and raises to the SEIU, and TARP used to save Public Employee jobs (all UNION JOBS) in the States are now un-available, and the Unions are feeling the loss of Control.

Likewise, Taxpayers are beginning to turn down Levies, and Union Public Employees are going to see that the Gravy Ladle is emptied.

Why aren’t they “Occupying “ Obama. He is the one who spent the money.

Unions aren’t “Occupying” Obama because they are getting paid off too. They just want a bigger piece of the pie, bought by these occupy idiots and trying to keep their hands clean.

A whopping six “occupiers.” Even for Bangor, that’s pathetic.

Unions and corporations deserve each other. Let me see, if corporate America decides a Chinese engineer can work cheaper then an American engineer, then all high tech operations can be moved to China despite the fact it destroys upper middle class jobs (that were suppose to replace high paying factory jobs) and gives China access to technology to upgrade the PLA. Such decisions are acceptable because FREE MARKETS allow it. Businessmen should be allowed to find the lowest price goods, materials, services and labor anywhere in the world. Okay, let me see, if I can go to Canada and get the lowest price prescription drugs, that would be illegal because it undermines the drug corporations future research. My gov via corporate lobbying tells me I cannot go anywhere in the world to get the lowest price prescription drugs because it harms our drug industry. But corporate America can go anywhere in the world to get labor and dump the unemployed Americans onto the US taxpayers. Wonder why Americans are starting to hate gov and big business.

Stephen King, who has a net worth of $300 million,
expressed his support recently for these “Occupy Bangor” moonbats who are camping out in front of the Bangor Public Library.
