Unions Protest Against Wall Street Bailout
------------------------------------------



Opposition on Main Street to the federal bailout continues to mount. On
Monday, labor unions held another rally on Wall Street. Speakers include
Ed Ott of the New York City Labor Council.

Ed Ott: “It was irresponsible what was done here. And if we put it back
together, we want assurances that someone is going to watch the till.
For twenty-five years, both parties have been complicit in undermining
our protections, under the guise of deregulation. They have now cost us
tens of thousands of jobs. It is unacceptable.”
