Unions Help Women Even The Odds 2008-12-03 12:31:44 The UAW has announced today that they’re open to re-negotiating their contracts with the Big 3. It might be a necessary evil, but I can’t help but feel the auto companies themselves haven’t done enough to deserve a break from the workforce.

It’s Not Just Us, Detroit 2008-12-01 15:34:52 It turns out that Birmingham, Alabama has a problem with a less-than-honest mayor.
On the day that Christine Beatty, former chief-of-staff to former-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, admitted to lying under oath and accepted a plea deal, the attention of the nation is drawn to a new mayor’s misdeeds.

Shocking Breaking News: We’re in a Recession 2008-12-01 14:55:44 As if we needed the reminder that things suck, the official word is out–we’re in a recession.

Day. For 20 years we have been marking December 1st by providing information, testing and support. For 20 years we’ve been begging governments to get more involved to find a cure. For 20 years we have mourned the loss of so many to this horrible disease.
