		<description><![CDATA[<b><FONT face="times new roman, times, serif" size=4>The shit is starting to hit the fan for the Wickliffe Mill like it has been hitting everyone else of NewPage Union Workers especially Escanaba. </FONT></b><br><b><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>They have huge plans on what they are going to screw you out of and going thru process to get it done. We are going to have to stand up and fight for what we have to try and keep it, but it is going to take our members to stand up and give the help that the Executive Board needs from its members. The times to meet at the Union Hall for the vote is listed on the first page of the Website, just take a moment and read the document that was sent out and show your support and vote.</FONT></b><br><b><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>I am planning on being there hopefully most of Thrusday and hopefully an hour or 2 on Friday morning. The rest I have several things already planned and will not be able to be there the rest of the time. But the time I will be there I sure would like to see the great people that really have done a great service for me dealing with this cancer. You have shown me that we have 1 hell of place where friends really help friends. And this will give me some time to thank those who has really helped me out these past 3 months.</FONT></b><br><b><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>So I hope to see a great turn out for this voting.</FONT></b><br><b><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4></FONT></b>&nbsp;<br><b><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>David Bramlett</FONT></b><br>]]></description>

I hope this will work if not will be deleting this. Bryon writes these documents to keep everyone updated on what is going on at their mill. They are still having problems with Contract issues and the company.<br>Just remember we still haven't begun. Gurvey and Ron and the rest of the Board has a troubled road ahead of them. I am hoping the best in there meetings with the company. They would beat the heck out of me <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> so I'm glad Ron took over to take the beating for me <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">)<br>I am sorry that I don't call everyone back, I limit my talking cause I can't really talk as much get to my voice gets very soft and little harder to talk so I try to send emails and few calls. I just want to say thank everyone for the emails and everything else. I will see everyone when I get home on June 5th.<br>Thanks to everyone<br>David<br>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Newpage is so good to us.&nbsp; They spend millions of dollars and thousands of hours every year to teach us how to beat them at their own games.&nbsp; We are sent to computer based safety training, safety classes and they develop standard safe operating procedures for us to follow.&nbsp; Then when use that training to counter their greed and arrogance they cry foul.&nbsp; What I do is carry around my job training manual, a copy of the mills safety rules and a copy of the SSOP for the job that I am doing that day.&nbsp; So that if the boss accuses me of a work slow down I pull out those documents and ask, "Which rules do you want me to break or ignore?"&nbsp; That usually sends him back to his little hole with a purple face and arms flialing wildly over his head cursing.&nbsp; <br><br>Let the mind games commence.<br><br>In <font size="2">SOLIDARITY.</font><br>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We heard that they are going to put the 4th crew back on the coater, is this true and if it is does this mean that some of us will be coming back?<br>The next question is what will happen to our red circle rate if we don't want to come back over there just to be sent home all the time losing money?<br>I sure would like to have these questions answered before this happens. Thank you for your time in this matter.<br>]]></description>

		<link>http://wick680.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=3643679</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<P>I read today that investors have pulled out 5.5 billion in investments out of Cerberus Hedge funds which is 71%. They blame the bad judgement of buying Chrysler and GMAC for the pullout. One person said they would have been better going to Vegas with their money instead of trusting "these clowns.'" Also with the report I read that pulp and paper demand is up, and the increase in prices is also I can't understand all the gloom and doom we are hearing from the company.&nbsp; </P>]]></description>
