Minnesota unions crowd Minnesota Capitol over 'right to work' 
A Minnesota Senate committee today passed a bill that would let voters statewide decide if Minnesota should be a right-to-work state with voluntary union membership. If it were to pass the full House and Senate, voters in November would decide whether Minnesota's Constitution should be amended to make membership voluntary in private and public unions.

Jan Bailey, Grand Forks, letter: Crystal slammed the door shut
The problem is not the union asking for a fair contract workable for all. The problem is corporate greed. Let’s not let that destroy us. We need to come together.

Pamela Hawn, Halstad, Minn., letter: Today’s growers don’t understand factory work
If I was a grower, I would want to see for myself what happens in the factories. Then I could decide for myself what the truth is. It’s their company, why don’t they drop in?

Vicki Ripplinger, Manvel, N.D., letter: America needs to revitalize unions
Workers need to start fighting for what is fair and just. We must stop accepting the crumbs thrown our way. I wish everyone would do some research on the history of unions and what they do for workers, union and non-union.

David Harney, Grand Forks, letter: Nothing coercive about Crystal labor union
We all are voluntary members. Even when we were working, we were not forced to be union members — not even in Minnesota. A person can choose to not belong to the union.

Paul Mathiason, Grand Forks, letter: Union, not Crystal, threatens sugar program
Why in the world would the union lobby against something that helps preserve the industry, their jobs and communities in the Red River Valley? It makes no sense, and it’s a foolish and short-sighted public relations stunt.

Jack Desautel, Grafton, N.D., column: The ‘door is open’ for Crystal workers’ return
I believe we have given Crystal workers a fair contract. I think it’s up to them to take control of their lives and go back to work.

Do we really want to reduce the odds of the sugar program’s survival? Was this approach to cost cutting at a time when we are getting record payment the prudent thing to do?

THEIR OPINION: Minnesota's 'last in, first out' teacher rules should go
"Using seniority as one of several factors -- but not the only factor -- in determining layoffs would serve the best interests of students and the teaching profession," the editorial states. "Gov. Mark Dayton should approve this bill when it reaches his desk."

Jay Holter, Arvilla, N.D., letter: Writer needed more skepticism about Crystal
As for smear campaigns, do we need to be reminded of who called who the “cancer” of Crystal Sugar? This “cancer” has been a part of the historic record beet payments for six of the past seven years.

Constance Wixo, Grand Forks, letter: Sad to see ‘growers’ replace ‘farmers’
There still are some honorable people who deserve the title of “farmer” — who have an old-fashioned, strong sense of responsibility to the people with whom they work, the communities in which they live, their friends and their families.
Many others are merely “growers.”
