Occupy rallies for failure: 12 occupiers arrested at post office

National Nurses United anti-NATO rally, May 18, Chicago

The United States Postal Service, the government monopoly bogged down by self-serving unions and esoteric federal rules, is in serious need of a 21st century re-sizing. Since you are reading this post on a computer, tablet, or a smartphone, I don't have to go into the reasons why.

But the tunnel-visioned Occupy movement can't see past their rigid socialist beliefs. A dozen of them were arrested yesterday at a Portland, Oregon post office--they were protesting the closure of 250 mail-sorting centers. Members of the Occupy movement are much more closely connected with the internet and social networking than the average person--the irony is thick here.

It appears, at least in Chicago, that the National Association of Letter Carriers is along for the Occupy ride. Mack I. Julion, the president of Branch 11 of the local, spoke at a rally after Occupy Chicago's May Day march, and as you will see in my photograph, I found these members of his local at an Occupy-sanctioned National Nurses United anti-NATO rally last Friday.

Question: Did Big Labor dispatch the occupiers in Portland?
