Additional vids of Rally downtown St. Louis May--bus tour

Here is a couple more vids from the steelworkers on the Rally dowtown St. Louis earlier this week. I am certain the folks will recognize Jesse J and Leo G.

There was excellent first day press coverage of the bus tour. Do not expect the press in all the stops to be as good, in fact look for black-out of coverage.

vids taken from usw site.

These are vids from varied sources on the Rally yesterday. Rally had good press coverage with all St. Louis television stations covering, some radio, St. Louis Post and some independant news sources.

Note: some of the materials are copyrighted. I will withdraw if objections made, but the purpose of reproduction is for discussion within and without the labor community.

These will form some discussion on the breaksfasts in southcounty breakfast and Farmington group breakfasts and will be discussed more in detail next meeting in June.

Save Our Jobs Rally in St. Louis May 11th, 09

---------------------
Both Ralph and I attended today's rally downtown. Good (but small) group at the rally. Steelworkers and UAW were out in limited numbers (a couple busses lost and some snafu on getting out word to some of the folks).

Some very good folks attended.

This is from http://www.stlbeacon.org/ posted on you tube and I think you might recognize a person or two.
