"The Making of a ‘99% Spring’" ---- (Article mentions "Move On.org., Labor Unions and OWS)

9. I welcome the labor involvement -

there are a lot of things I like about Occupy but absence of labor has been troubling. The past 30 years in particular have been very difficult in that low income folks were somehow convinced to vote for Reagan, and then we watched as he started the work of decimating the unions. Not that they are perfect and impervious to corruption (especially at the leadership level), but they are always important in any effort because they bring huge numbers of people. And I sure would like those blue-collar folks voting for dems. I think many do, but we've lost some to so-called "family issues". It is not only time to resist, but time to work on bringing our blue collar brothers and sisters back into the democratic party.
