This thread seems similar to the labor organization struggles of the 1930s, when industrialists hired thugs to help the police beat up workers who wanted to organize in unions for workers' rights.
Almost one hundred years later the American worker is still at the bottom compared to other modern nations.
Labor Day is a big, meaningless scam anyway.
There's nothing to celebrate on Labor Day or Independence Day.
It's about time the Wisconsin republican legislature got a chance to feel a little of the wrath of the working folks. Vote 'em all out, Wisconsin! We're with you all the way!
And you're in favor of this? I'm not a huge supporter of the democratic thought pattern, but I would never favor them from being banned from a public place.
Sounds good, so long as it is privately funded. I support the right to associate and disassociate. Let them discriminate away and invite to march/ride in their parade whomever they choose to, and in doing so, let them understand exactly why it is so very important for the public accommodations legal fiction to be throw in the garbage bin where it belongs, along with other legal fictions like the 'personhood' concept, as it is often applied to certain organizations and businesses.

I wonder if the unions will change their minds now that a judge has ordered them to pay the costs for having it. They're all about money, this will hit them where they live.
For all who are non-readers of links and those who read only those words they want to see I think I will offer these words that came from the end of the first paragraph. The parade is organized by 30 local unions.
Now what kind of an idiot would think that those groups would organize something that would include Republicans. After all, it was that horrible group of people who passed the law to save the destruction of the Wisconsin economy that was being caused by what public employee unions had been allowed to do.
May we have an honest example of which you are claiming??

When the City of Wausau is a co-sponsor, it's no longer a private event subject to the "free associations" protections enjoyed by private citizens and groups. If they want those full rights, then they can either hold the event completely on private property or compensate the City of Wausau for its contribution to the event.
(Reuters) - The mayor of a Wisconsin town said on Tuesday a local labor council would have to reimburse the city up to $2,000 for a Labor Day parade if organizers exclude Republican lawmakers from attending.

I will tell you very slowly how and where to find the words I quoted in that post. G e t y o u r s e l f t o t h e o p e n i n g p o s t o f t h i s t h r e a d a n d p l a c e y o u r c u r s o r o n t h e l i n k w h i c h i s b l u e. D e p r e s s y o u r m o u s e a n d r e a d w h a t a p p e a r s o n y o u r s c r e e n. You will quickly see the words I posted in red.

Hence the inclusion of "so long as it is privately funded" into the original message.

I was not real sure what all the little specifics of the parade were (i.e. exactly who is funding what, etc...), so I just left it with that caveat. And if their parade violates that caveat through accepting public funding, then they should perhaps kiss their ability to exclude goodbye.
