For now, we're opening this blog to Anonymous comments. This will continue as long as civility rules. Disagree as you may, just keep it clean and stay on topic. No profanity, and no name calling.

"We have many ideas that have potential to help our newspaper economically and are more than willing to share these ideas as well as work with management to implement them. All it requires is management to accept our decision to form a union and cease their campaign against our shops."
ReplyDeleteIn other words you know how to “save” jobs but you’d rather argue with the company and watch our “brothers/sisters" get laid off.
Interesting.............
"In other words", always means your words not mine. I wrote what I wrote and thats what I wrote. Simple. read what I write, not what you want to read.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting is that?
Your words, “All it requires...” means to me that you have chosen to put conditions on your willingness to share the “many ideas that have potential to help our newspaper economically”, and in my words, “and therefore to help the employees of our pressrooms”.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting.........
Oh and by the way Ronnie.....
ReplyDelete“Democracy-in-Action” would be allowing your members to vote on whether you should share your “many ideas that have potential to help our newspaper economically.......”
And that’s very interesting......
