I have to chime in here --- for some reason everyone thinks I was talking about "national security." I was talking about security, as in personal security/personal privacy -- it's the one thing anyone not interested in the offshoring issue from the "save union jobs" perspective DOES immediately understand. So, I agree with Al that it's a good hook. I have yet to read any proposals for action from the list. But, maybe coming into the online discussion late I have missed others' recent suggestions. What are folks thinking should or could be done, in concrete terms, as an under funded union with a vote towards a 40% use of the sole organizer's time? Any workable ideas out there? Has Dian Killian done anything or expressed interest in pulling together any initiatives nationally? Please forgive me if I've missed some commentary here, I admit I have been out of the loop recently. Lisa
