From the link I supplied earlier in this thread....

"Unions and community groups organized a rousing finish to a week of actions on jobs and corporate greed here Oct. 14. Hundreds marched and picketed Bank of America and then Chicago's Board of Trade and Federal Reserve Bank, the site of Occupy Chicago.

"Jobs, not cuts," chanted Bob Reiter, secretary-treasurer of the Chicago Federation of Labor to the starting rally at Federal Plaza. He then added, "We are one," the labor movement's unity chant.

"The labor movement stands in solidarity with the people occupying Wall Street, Boston and Chicago. One percent control the wealth and the political agenda of this country," he told the rally.

Reiter told PeoplesWorld.org that in order to pass a jobs bill it's less about the strategy in D.C., and "more about the people, the 99%, in the country."

"The labor movement never took its eye off the ball" in terms of the economy and jobs, he said. The occupy movements, he said, and the labor movement "joined together" on these issues."
