Al Rebsch, Grand Forks, letter: ‘Labor dispute’ a misnomer in Crystal case
It is management that locked out the union workers when, by overwhelming majorities, those workers twice refused to submit to the demands.
So, shouldn’t the paper properly describe this situation as a management dispute?

Jerry Hoiseth, Crookston, column: Crystal workers, not growers, took biggest hit
Add it all up, and you’ll get the dollar amount lost by a single worker. Then multiply that by the number of year-round employees.
Now, that’s a large sum of money, people. And it’s money that could have and should have gone into local workers’ pockets rather than replacement workers’ bank accounts.

LoriJayne M. Grahn, Pelican Rapids, Minn., letter: Who’ll be the next to be locked out?

Rick Krull, Moorhead, letter: Lockout’s effects show up in beet prices
Shareholders and growers, don’t you think it’s time to call your board of directors and tell them to end this lockout, and get the workers who have made your company profitable for many years back to work?

Kevin Solum, Barnesville, Minn., letter: Growers should reassert control over Crystal
It is time for all growers to re-establish control of THEIR company, restore American Crystal Sugar’s reputation and regain its profitability.

Debra Kostrzewski, Argyle, Minn., letter: Do growers want another 2011-2012?
Co-op members, do you really want to go through another year like this one? Or would you prefer to have skilled, experienced and hard-working people back on the jobs they loved and respected and gave their all for?
