So the Union who only collects dues from it's members and gives Steve Kagen $10,000.00 plus for his campaign wants the mill to sell it to another company and the people who owns the plant says it will not sell because it would be competition. What could happen next?
Holy cow, not Jimmy Hoffa style strong arm tactics, "union thinks there's a chance to change minds, especially in person." I thought those tactics went out years ago? That should of been phrased a little different.
Let's see. baseball bats, buckets, cement, did we miss anything?
So the union wants politicians to change laws to make a business sell it's property? Sounds like communism or socialism to me.
Take away what is someone else's to keep for their own. Kind of like UNION DUES or union dues paying $10,000 to a politicians campaign.
The politicians should talk to New Page but to have the union there after making a silly comment like that is over the top.
The employees of New Page deserve honest, good faith negotiating. We are talking about peoples lives here. Kagen, Petri and Nelson, should try to work things out but not take away someone's right of ownership. How about the employees buy the plant with the backing of UNION money? That would never happen. The employees could buy the company but would the union hand over cash?
Every time someone can't get their way, first thing that that say is we need to make a law.
Level heads need to come together.
Employees of New Page, do what you can but no matter what happens you need to plan your own life. Talk and promises are only heard around election time. Take care of yourselves and your family's first.
"Efforts Accelerate to Convince NewPage to Sell Kimberly Mill
Updated: Aug 8, 2008 06:44 PM " WBAY-TV Green Bay-Fox Cities-Northeast Wisconsin News: Efforts Accelerate to Convince NewPage to Sell Kimberly Mill
By Natalie Arnold
Even though NewPage Corporation keeps saying it will not sell the Kimberly mill once it shuts down by the middle of this month, union representatives and now Congressmen are continuing their fight to keep the plant running. That's because 475 employees are going to lose their jobs.
Union officials and federal lawmakers are trying to arrange a meeting with NewPage management face-to-face.
So the Union who only collects dues from it's members and gives Steve Kagen $10,000.00 plus for his campaign wants the mill to sell it to another company and the people who owns the plant says it will not sell because it would be competition. What could happen next?
In a message to Action 2 News Friday, NewPage said it would be happy to meet with everyone to explain its rationale -- that there is just too much coated paper on the market right now, so therefore it has no intention of selling the mill.
But the union thinks there's a chance to change minds, especially in person.
"You got to fight for what you do, especially when you do it well and you can keep doing it well," Nirschl said.

"State Rep. Tom Nelson, D-Kaukauna, and state Sen. Robert Cowles, R-Green Bay, joined them at the meeting with union officials behind closed doors.
Nelson told the demonstrators earlier he would introduce a resolution to the legislature in Madison urging NewPage Corp. and its private equity parent, Cerberus Capital Management of New York, to allow the Kimberly plant to be bid on in the open market."
