When hotel workers and their allies rally Thursday afternoon, they will be confronting a global corporatocracy of hotel bosses that is actively recruiting scabs for a possible strike. Just one example -- check out the website of a scab-herding organization called Talent Tree:

Don't you just love that part about needing a "great attitude" for a temporary job for which there are "no requirements." Also, no medical benefits, despite the fact that scabs have been known to suffer an injury or two under their trying conditions of employment.

I think the best job is "door attendant" at the glorious salary of $9 per hour. Think how much fun that will be, standing out in the street holding the door for scab guests scurrying through the Local 2 picket lines.

It looks like it could be a hot September in San Francisco, fog or no fog...
