Denny, Sorry I didn't mention you folks. This is the union printer I have always used. They're great. They even did my wedding invitation.

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.
