Support for Fired Arizona Pace Workers Needed

Hearing this around the supposed "holiday season" always turns my gut: Anyway, Gaylord Container Co. has fired the bargaining unit of its Phoenix plant for its use of "going slow" tactics (--and this charge is flimsy at best). If you check out Gaylord's web site and look over the "profitable" press releases as well as their "we-value-employees" b.s., it makes one even angrier:

Show solidarity for the fired workers (PACE local 8-968) by emailing the bandits your thoughts on their "Christmastime present." One way to access the co. is through the web site:

Also, through their "investor relations" email:

restorat@hq.gylrd.com

And Mary Coleman, President of Univ. of Iowa, who sits on the board of directors, through:

Hopefully, enough worker pressure each day will help the PACE people get their jobs back before the new year. (Ref. Bob at koba@cybersurfers.net or http://www.cybersurfers.net/~koba/index.html for possible updates on the situation.)
