All public employees throughout the US should wear a ribbon in solidarity
for those public employees whose CBA's( collective bargaining agreements and collective bargaining right itself) are under attack

The color of ribbon is open to suggestion in this thread

4. Rec'd
Great idea. State workers in Colorado never had collective bargaining. The last governor signed a bill allowing it and then left office. I don't know what will happen with it.

I'm retired but am all for showing support like this. :thumbsup:

8. All it would take is to pick the color, go buy the ribbon, make more than
you need to give away, wear it proudly all on the same day to show people across the country how much support there is for American labor and hard fought rights

12. I bet plenty of us have christmas ribbon around the house to meet this need
This is an easy one as you can always make one of paper, too.

7. Red was the color for Solidarity in Poland under Lech Walesa.
Perhaps that would be appropriate.

9. That could get folks in trouble. I think a piece of cheese on
your desk would make the point and you could claim it was just food if questioned about it. But don't let anyone MOVE IT!
