Union shirts at Bernie's Council Bluffs, IA rally last night

The Council Bluffs Labor Council had reserved seats.

Shirts I saw not in the Labor Council were IWW (Wobblies), CWA, Teamsters, USW, IBEW, green AFSCME, Laborers, SEIU, UAW, Grain Millers (Kellogg's has talked about closing the Omaha plant) and my bright yellow AFSCME.

As large as the crowd was, I'm sure I missed many others.

I saw everyone from bikers on Harleys to young people to the elderly. Bernie praised the trade unionist movement and I have no doubt that unlike Obama he would find his comfortable walking shoes.
