In a vain attempt to re-create the Pina Colada song putting a personal ad in a DC paper that read.
Do you like right-to-work
Getting a blue dress shirt on
Perhaps even a blazer
Hold a sign at meet me at the Supreme Court
And we will plan our escape…

If it gets much hotter out here we might perspire. I think this darn sign is giving me a callus.

The last-ditch manning of the barricades by the desperate proletariat outside the halls of justice.
Yeah, it’s all about workers’ rights.

Odd place for the sig chi boys to hold their chapter meeting

Honestly though this picture is hilarious. I like that they used the old zoom feature to make the crowd look bigger. My guess is this was 15 people tops

This is the only time these guys have ever “worked” outside. I hope they all get sunburn and splinters.

The Trump Hotel on Pennsylvania has the best hand lotion according to Pruitt, so after, we should head there…
Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:28 pm
“Lots of hardhats”. Isn’t that the caption?
Alternative: We’re standing with workers, who are at work.
Who are these guys anyway? Has anybody asked them?
Comment by dbk Monday, Jun 25, 18 @ 4:43 pm
Randall, remember what they told us. We’re not “marching and protesting for the working man”, we’re ”marchin’ and protestin’ for the workin’ man”.

Stand “with” workers.
I think they meant “on.”
