Wow, when it rains it pours! We have eight diaries up for rescue tonight, our largest collection to date.
And now for the usual statement:
The Labor Diary Rescue is done every Monday and Thursday night. If you want your pro-union diary to be rescued, please type the word "union" in the tag and I’ll pick the diary up as long as it has less than 100 comments, was not rescued by the nightly Open Thread and Diary Rescue or the Green Diary Rescue, and did not make the rec list. The LDR was started to give more attention to our pro-labor work and to help inform the Daily Kos community of union’s contributions to the progressive movement.
Tonight’s diaries are below the fold. Treat the comments as an open thread.
