LoriJayne Grahn, Pelican Rapids, Minn., letter: Lockout should include Crystal’s executives
It is an unfair playing field, and that’s why American Crystal Sugar’s executives should have been locked out, too. If one side is locked out for disagreeing on a new contract, then the other side also should be locked out for doing the same thing.

Gayle Lund, Ulen, Minn., letter: Crystal workers delivered for company

Chris Halligan, Emerado, N.D., letter: Crystal refuses to meet in the middle
The company insists it is trying to plan for the future, and that’s exactly the same thing the workers are trying to plan for. The company just doesn’t want to meet in the middle, and that is what’s wrong with this negotiation. It’s one-sided.

Scott Ripplinger, Manvel, N.D., letter: Union says to Crystal, 'Thanks, but no thanks'
Many of my union brothers and sisters and I went to Washington to lobby for the most recent sugar program. We were widely credited with switching enough votes to ensure its passage. I am pretty sure we can work just as hard to ensure defeat of the program, although at this point we are not doing so.
