Since people are posting their thoughts on the Lavender Magazine demonstration, here is the blurb I posted on the DFL State Central Committee e-group. ********************************************** Many thanks to Mike Erlandson for speaking at the demonstration in support of the Lavender Magazine staffers who have been attempting to organize with the CWA/Guild of Newspaper Writers. They voted CWA in as their bargaining agent, but negotiations have been rocky and several staffers have resigned recently. Doug Grow covered the story in the Weds, July 4th edition of the Star Tribune. "Lavender, a progressive magazine with unhappy employees" There was a bus that came down from the CWA convention packed with enthusiastic supporters and the DFL was well represented. State Representative Scott Dibble spoke as did DFL-endorsed Mpls Park Board candidate Marie Hauser, who was also on the bargaining committee for the Nurses at Fairview-Riverside Hospital. Stonewall DFL State Chair Megan Thomas was an enthusiastic participant, hefting the sound system speaker during the rally. ************************************** David Finke Central _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - Minnesota E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
