The union organizers of Friday night's Rally against corporate greed at Kiener Plaza in St. Louis estimated a crowd of 4300. A large part of the reason this weekend was chosen was that the 34 members of the Missouri Senate are scheduled on Monday to vote on the right-to-work-for-less bill, SB 1. Union official Jeff Aboussie, in the video, assumes he can count on the eight Democrats in the chamber and only singles out for mention the five Republicans who've openly opposed the idea. That's short of the 18 votes it would take to kill it. But a filibuster is almost certain. Robin Wright-Jones mentioned on her Facebook page that she's looking for filibuster material, and she may well be joined in the effort by one or more Republicans. The opposition in both chambers enjoys strong bipartisan support.
