So you're thinking about protesting outside the home of a CEO who's ignored his factory's shoddy working conditions. Maybe you and some friends are planning to stage a sit-in at that bank that's refused to modify loans. Under legislation introduced by state Sen.

Yes, despite the fact that Georgia has some of the weakest labor laws and lowest union memberships in the country, the Snellville Republicans wants to further clamp down on the organizations. And it looks like the Occupy movement won't get a pass either. …. Speight notes that the bill's sponsors are affiliated with the American Legislative Exchange Council, a free-market organization that's been accused of championing anti-labor policies.
