[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1301693, member: 29553"] Its amazing how the corporate "news" media covers union events. An article on NBC news .com starts off with quotes from a UPS spokesman . Of the total of 9 paragraphs in the article, 6 paragraphs were dedicated to UPS' point of view. Only one sided with the union and it was a quote by the NYC comptroller. They say they "Local 804 could not be reached for comment." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? There was a picture of several union members at the press conference and rally AND THE PLACE WAS CRAWLING WITH LOCAL 804 MEMBERS AND UNION OFFICIALS BUT THEY COULDNT FIND ANY UNION OFFICIAL FROM LOCAL 804 TO COMMENT!!Are they kidding!! This is biased, lazy corporate media. But they had plenty of time and effort into quoting some corporate sleezeball to frame the issue in the article. Is there a quote by the original victim of UPS' corporate terrorism Jairo R?? NO!! Was there a quote by the driver who just got back from being out after getting hit by a car on the job and was in the office FOR PRODUCTION!! NO!! Of course not!! The clueless corporate media focus on the corporate mouthpiece and the politicians!! [/QUOTE]
