Many of our older users recall a television program from the early sixties called The Twilight Zone, which brings to mind the episode “To Serve Man”. In this particular story, aliens visit the Earth, with promises of ending disease and hunger. And deceive many humans into returning to the alien’s planet, where they will live happily among the aliens. Many of the aliens carried a book titled To Serve Man, which many humans misinterpreted to mean they would make life better on Earth, but the book was actually a cookbook on serving mankind.
Before the ink was dried on the Sam Zell deal to purchase the Tribune Company, banners went up all across Tribune properties, proclaiming the employees now own the company. Just as the alien’s book was deciphered into it’s true meaning, someone from Save Our Trade has spelled out what the true message of the banners really say.

What do you think was going to happen? If you can’t pay your bills..... what happens? It’s makes no difference who owns the company as you and others have found out! When newsprint and salaries are responsible for most of your costs, what would you do if you wanted to stay in business? Ask the folks at the old TMP over on Boyle what can happen! Have you been by that plant lately?
