I agree with Lisa that the issue of union print shops is a trivial distraction. BUT...
There IS a good, small, union print shop in the 3rd ward, Shafer & Feld. A lot of elected officials and those who ran for office (some familiar names on this list) have used it. (Disclaimer: I once worked for the company and I still office in the building.) The union bug is one interesting insect. Knowing about it is often one measure of a DFL candidate's savvy (You don't have a union bug on your literature? You been living under a rock?). On the other hand, any campaign is going to have short-run print jobs that really are better done at a Kinko's-type (non-union) shop, and it seems excessive to demand the extra costs that go with the union bug on those jobs which union shops are not positioned to do at a competitive price. Also, viewers of the Bayard Rustin bio on TPT last night were reminded that the issue of race and trade unionism ain't nothin' new.
