More than 40 locked out workers out of 1300. What a landslide.
Hot debate. What do you think?

The time for negotiations was back in May and June of last year. Why should Crystal negotiate now? They’re almost done processing the crop. I see too how positions have changed, Riskey said they would oppose the sugar program, now Ripplinger is saying they aren’t. Did they get their fingers slapped by the other BCTGM sugar worker’s unions?
Hot debate. What do you think?

They are lobbying against the sugar program and ACSC. Their hatred for this company has been voiced up and down the RRV and further. Look at what they tried to do at Nestle. I wouldn’t hire a single one back unless they started showing support for ACSC. The union has made it clear they are not supportive or trustworthy.
Hot debate. What do you think?

Do you think the BCTGM union leaders could look like a bigger JOKE? One would think Riskey, Fromke and Bertilli would get tired of looking like Larry, Moe and Curley? Of course to do so would mean keeping their mouths closed.
Hot debate. What do you think?

One of the picketers at the alerus had a sign that read “I want my job back you yellow bellied farmers”. How can anyone believe such behavior is helpful?
