Check Working Life for my new blog posts

These days I'm too busy working, organizing, and trying to find time to play guitar. So I haven't had too much time the past few years to blog. But I have been following the primary election closely and I'm strongly rooting for John Edwards. Visit my page at Tasini's Working Life blog for my recent political blog entries.

2 other activist/organizer blogs I would recommend are Sindicalista (read the post "Fetishism of the word vs. actually organizing the people") and John Cronan Jr.

Ashamed of Her Wal-mart Past

Clinton served on the Wal-Mart board of directors from 1988-1992 while her husband was governor of Arkansas. She advocated environmentally friendlier practices and moving more women into management. She also stayed silent on the company's vicious anti-union practices. None of this is advertised by her presidential campaign.
