I don't watch much tv news but yesterday, Labor Day, I switched on PBS just in time to see the Newshour piece on the union strike at the Mott's apple products plant in Upstate Williamson, New York, near Rochester.

If you didn't see it, you should. Just click the link & watch the video. Mott's spokesman VP Robert Callan is a corporate sleaze-ball villain right out of central casting. Here he is rationalizing wage & benefit cuts in a regional market more than usually depressed by Xerox & Kodak layoffs:

This is my first diary here. I've decided to write it after viewing the images in clone12' diary, "A Norman Rockwell Moment Happened at Bush's Pep Rally... And the Crowd Booed" and the action it prompted me to take.

The juxtaposed images in clone12's diary of Harry Taylor with the Norman Rockwell painting, "Free Speech", called to mind Robert Shetterly's portrait series, "Americans Who Tell the Truth", the most familiar of which to many folks here may be his portrait of Cindy Sheehan. His paintings incorporate both the words and portraits of his subjects and so they speek a dual language of truth (I can't figure out how to post an image in this diary but posted a thumnail of Cindy's portrait w/ my comment at clone12's entry, so you can see it by going there).
