In New York, four Occupy Wall Street protesters
were arrested inside Sotheby's as Teamsters, union allies, students and OWSers made a ruckus outside.

| Teamsters at the Treasury |
The National Nurses United teamed up with OWS, unions, and other activists to march in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, DC, and Cannes, France (host city of G-20 Summit) to
support a financial transactions tax. Teamsters joined the thousand or so marchers on the Treasury on Thursday. About 100 nurses and supporters marched through Los Angeles, while more than 200 marched in San Francisco.

| Occupying Oakland |
California Teamsters helped feed thousands at a giant "Occupy Oakland" cookout in the shadow of our superbadass trucks on Frank Ogawa Plaza. It was part of a Day of Solidarity Action that got tense late at night after the Teamsters had all gone home. The Associated Press reported that in the morning
protesters helped clean up the mess made by a rogue band of troublemakers.
Occupy Nashville welcomed a counterprotest of
Vanderbilt University Young Republicans. The two groups came together and listened to each others' views. Earlier in the week a
federal judge ordered a stop to the arrests of Occupy Nashville protesters.
Occupy Chicago infiltrated the exlusive Union Club for a lunch featuring
Koch whore Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. His speech was interrupted for about six minutes. After the protesters left, Walker told the audience a series of lies.
And those are the highlights from the Occupations this week.
