One of the problems with solely relying on the internet version of the paper is you miss items such as the full page ad (text below) in yesterday's paper. I thought many list members who may have missed this ad ,Paid for by the security officer members of SEIU, would find the text to be of interest since it is addressed to a major security contractor with the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority and other local government run entities.
Thanks, David Strand Loring Park Ward 7 The ad copy reads as follows: ------------------------------------------------------- Hate Has No Home Here In these troubled times, security is a national priority. Those charged with protecting us must not violate the values that make our country strong. We are concerned that employees of Burns & Pinkerton/Securitas - the security contractor at Minneapolis Public Housing, the Convention Center, Metrodome, and many downtown office buildings - have been subjected to racial and religious discrimination. Hate, prejudice, and discrimination toward any group or individual have no place in our community. We call on Securitias to respect our community's diversity.
