We also believe Lunzer would be the best candidate to represent TNG’s interests on the board of our umbrella union, the Communication Workers of America.<br /><br />When we look at the current regime led by Lunzer’s opponent, Linda Foley, a 12-year presidential incumbent, we believe it is Lunzer who shows a greater dedication to the needs of smaller locals such as ours. For the last 12 years, Lunzer has been in the secretary-treasurer position. Current and former officers from our local have always found him to be accessible and responsive to our questions and concerns.<br /><br />We are pleased to endorse him.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Mike Larsen, Bill Siel, Joe Potente, Mark Hornickel, Bill Guida, Liz Snyder and Laura Tucker<br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>DISSENTING OPINION</strong></span><br />I support Linda Foley because she has the experience, the know-how and savvy to continue to advocate for the Guild at the CWA level. The disruption and learning curve that a new administration would involve don’t seem to be worth the change.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />John Krerowicz<br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>VIEW THE CANDIDATE WEB SITES</strong></span><br />Bernie Lunzer -- <a target="_blank" href="http://www.astrongerguild.org/">www.astrongerguild.org</a><br />Linda Foley -- <a target="_blank" href="http://www.teamguild.org/">www.teamguild.org</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8917450342078104704-3202176707731062430?l=kenoshaguild.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kenosha Guild Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02965905900395186476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917450342078104704.post-53312912247328159252008-04-08T22:00:00.002-05:002008-04-16T07:39:09.506-05:00Welcome to The Kenosha Newspaper Guild TNG-CWA Local 34159<br /><br />TNG-CWA Local 34159 is a branch of The Newpaper Guild (40,000 members) in conjunction with the 700,000-member Communication Workers Association.<br /><br />We are dedicated to representing workers' rights at the Kenosha (Wis.)
