POPSNurses in Washington State file lawsuit against forced "swine flu" jab "MultiCare’s unilateral implementation of this policy blatantly ignores their legal obligation to bargain with the union," said Barbara Frye, the association's assistant executive director of labor relations.

POPSNeed for Cash and Protein from Poultry Drives Bird Flu The desire for cheap protein, as well as extra cash in cash strapped areas illustrates why "culling" or killing thousands of birds does not suppress re-emergence of avian influenza. If you need the cash, you hide some birds or you re-import roosters and hens with no or few questions asked. Another solution is needed to break the cycle.
