say you went out to buy lunch for your co-workers..some salami sandwiches, noodle salad and cokes or whatever..you came back to work and they were all dead! How would you feel? Be honest...I would cry for some and for some others..not so much... I'm glad ..actually THANKFUL I never worked at the NewsPress or Daily Sound..both have done something really stupid..hired Randy Alcorn to write a column..Alcorn's claim to fame was CFO at the NewsPress.. he brown-nosed Wendy until she gave him a column..a wordy anti-gov't/anti-worker rant..he sat idly by while NP managment messed with the workers at the paper..then he finally got a spine and wrote a little blurb, hinting Wendy may be a bad manager...so she fired him! That is the one thing Wendy did right...I recall one time he called city workers "miscreants" for gathering at City Hall during union negotiations..so now we have Randy writing for the Daily Sound and blaming the auto workers for the Big Three money problems...let me clear this up for you Randy..blue collars workers aren't to blame..white collar management is to blame..Enron, Aig, CitiGroup, and all the others living too high on the turkey, mismanaging, not caring at all about the companies....the autoworkers made major concessions to keep the GM, Ford and the other guy solvent..but management kept screwing up..and the shareholders didn't demand they be fired! So this is not about unions, Randy Dickhead, this is about MISMANAGEMENT...workers in America demand a decent wage, benefits for their families and a stake in the company they work for..if managers don't understand that, they are destined to fail..to be failures, like you...you probably drive a little Prius you little pussy...

During Mr. Alcorn's tenure, the New York Times began leasing out part of the News-Press' second parking lot to a valet service. Employees were told they could not park in those spaces, and N-P employees who started their shifts midafternoon often had to scramble to find parking. At the time, the NYT had busted the three unions and was happily hiring permatemps, some of them working for several years with no benefits. The company's solution to the parking problem was to ban the permatemps from both company parking lots, telling them they would be towed.
Fast-forward a few years (before the 2006 meltdown). The paper is now owned by Ampersand, the valet service is still utilizing the second parking lot, and employees are still having trouble finding spaces. Mr. Alcorn's take on the situation was "Parking is not a perk of employment."
Wow! Randy's a real working class hero...I'm thinking that maybe the whole NewsPress building in De La Guerra Plaza is haunted!
