Gayle Lund, Ulen, Minn., letter: Insurance, seniority are the lockout keys
I urge all growers to talk to their board members about going back to the bargaining table. If the company offers us a reasonable health insurance plan and leaves seniority issues as they have been in the past, this standoff will end. It’s that simple.
