No, I won’t be marching, but many of my friends and loved ones will.
Yes, Celeste is correct when she says I implore everyone to not paint the whole Record Searchlight with one rough, critical brush.
I have scores of good friends and colleagues still trapped inside the Record Searchlight – from the press room and mail room in the basement to editorial and classifieds by the front door.
These good people are not the deciders. They’re the workers, many of whom lack the financial flexibility to tell management to take this job and shove it.
They need the money. They need the benefits. And the Record Searchlight is the only newspaper game in town. So they stay. They deserve our support now, more than ever.
I’ll check back later. Enjoy this gorgeous (unseasonably warm) fall day. Keep the faith.
