Mugging Rosie

Okay now they’ve done it.

They have hacked Juanita off.

“You can do a lot of things without angering me.  But you cannot mug Rosie and walk away laughing,” she warns.

Maine Gov. Paul LePage has ordered the removal of a 36-foot mural depicting Maine’s labor history from the lobby of the Department of Labor.

Worker advocates described the move as a “mean-spirited” provocation amid the administration’s high-tension standoff with unions.

According to LePage spokesman Dan Demeritt, the administration felt the mural and the conference room monikers showed “one-sided decor” not in keeping with the department’s pro-business goals.

“It’s called the Department of Labor, Governor. It’s not called the Department of Robber Barons,” Juanita stomps.

Rosie the Riveter is pictured on the mural.  They’re going to paint over her because she’s not pro-business enough.

Juanita also suspect that this Friday, the Republicans will attempt to erase all memory of the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire because it depicts  sweatshops in such an unflattering light.

(Thanks to Deb for the heads-up on this one!)
