I haven't been involved in this WG, but I wanted to forward y'all this
statement from Occupy STL. I think it shows REAL solidarity with
workers and unions in St. Louis. It dedicates support for all strikes,
while retaining Occupy STL's autonomy.
“STATEMENT OF FULL SUPPORT FOR THOSE WHO GO ON STRIKE
1. From this point forward, we offer our support for all strikes
taking place in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area.
2. We commit to offer practical and creative support to those who walk
out from union or non-union work places, with or without union
leadership.
3.This statement also applies to student strikes.
By issuing this statement, we wish to send a message to everyone in
this city, that if you are fighting back, then we got your back. Talk
to your co-workers and fellow students. Every grievance against this
system is worthy of a collective response.
We encourage everyone, ourselves included, to no longer let our
discontent boil beneath the surface. We believe the time to act is
now.”
–the Occupy St Louis General Assembly

This is great! Maybe we can consider proposing this to be adopted at a future general assembly meeting? From visiting OccupyPittsburgh earlier today, it appears that the GA meetings happen every day at 7:00 pm. I won't be there tonight but I should be there tomorrow. What does everyone think? I think this is a great statement!
