Right-wing trashes hunger strikers @ Camden Yards

Wed Aug 22, 2007 at 11:17:17 AM PDT

Right-wing commentator of the Baltimore Examiner Dan Gainor trashed the Camden Yards cleaners who are have announced that they will hunger strike starting Sept 3 in to secure a living wage at the publicly owned stadium.

The great labor battles are written in large type across American history — the Haymarket riots, the railroad strike of 1877 — even the battles between miners and mine owners in Harlan County, Ky. But Camden Yards?Yes. The new great battleground for the labor movement is the stadium, and the rallying cry isn’t some Depression-era slogan about dimes. It’s the far pricier “living wage.”
