If I'm ever sued, this site will go up for sale for the amount of damages sought, along with posting any documents I receive. If you think you can copyright a letter you send to me, go for it.
I'm still learning about blog design and I've found a problem when viewing this blog. It does not behave properly in small browser windows and if your display resolution is less than 1280 pixels wide and/or you are viewing the blog in a window less than 980 pixels blog wide, the right side bar is pushed below any visible post. I've searched the web and looked at the code for hours but can't find the problem. My next step, when I get the time, is to recreate the blog with a new template. Advice is appreciated.

Boston Mailers Face Deep Cuts

I just read about the cuts facing the Boston Mailers (Teamster Local 1) at the Boston Globe and I sympathize. At the same time I can understand that New York Times, Co. is having a rough time and looking to save money. Rock and a hard spot!

I'm curious though, is it really necessary to pay the president, of a local with less than 300 members, over 90K as you did in 2008? I know Boston is an expensive place to live but have you ever considered someone part-time?

If I were looking at a 5% wage cut, pensions freeze, loss of overtime, etc., I think I'd ask the president to also make a sacrifice.
