I couldn't help but chime in on this on. Impact Printing and Impact Mailing are in fact two different companies. Impact Printing (located in St. Paul @ 1067 Rice St)) is in fact a unionized printing company. Impact Mailing (located at 46th & Lyndale) is in fact a NON-UNIONIZED direct mail full-fillment company. They (Impact Mailing) in fact did a LARGE mailing for the teamsters union recently. Go figure..... A UNION supporting a non-union shop.....
If you would prefer Dyna, the next time I see Don, I'll ask him to consider either running his direct mail through impact mailing (non-unionized, but in North Minneapolis), or Impact Mailing (unionized, but located in St. Paul). The downside with Impact Mailing of course, is that although they are located in North Minneapolis, they "shop" the printing rates to get the best deal. :)
