Here
is an article from Minnesota's leading labor newspaper. Not so much as a
mention concerning the need to have legislation banning employer
lockouts and the use of scabs. If the unions and workers aren't going to
bring these demands forward, does anyone
think these worthless Democratic Party politicians still ordering
American Crystal Sugar for their coffee and tea and cafeteria deserts
are going to?

There
is a Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor Party State Central Committee
meeting tomorrow; will any of the members of the MNDFL State Central
Committee bring forward the need for anti-lockout and anti-scab
legislation? Quite doubtful. Like one member of the State Central
Committee just wrote me: "... I better look to see what kind of sugar I
will be putting in my coffee but knowing you, you will have someone at
the meeting ready to put my picture on your blog..."
Note:
I just called the "Daily Grind Coffee House" the site of this "informal
DFL gathering listed below and asked them if they use American Crystal
Sugar; the person answering the phone proudly stated: "It's the only
kind of sugar we use."
I wonder how long they will be so proudly making this proclamation?
