Comments on: Layoffs and outsourcing at daily? http://rockrivertimes.com/2011/03/09/layoffs-and-outsourcing-at-daily/ The Rock River Times - THE VOICE OF THE COMMUNITY SINCE 1993 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:13:53 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Paul Gorski http://rockrivertimes.com/2011/03/09/layoffs-and-outsourcing-at-daily/comment-page-1/#comment-2219 Paul Gorski Sat, 12 Mar 2011 17:04:27 +0000 http://rockrivertimes.com/?p=29281#comment-2219 Regarding the boycott, I was referring to the posts from "bad news." And rather than focusing on doing something negative, I was trying to focus on doing something positive. Based on the RRSTAR's move to a subscription model for on-line access, it looks it has already recognized that some people are choosing not to read the print version. Whether this is the result of a boycott or simply following national trends I can't say for sure. I'd tend to think it was just following the national trend.

Wake up! When a local company throws jobs to India for profit? Yes overseas. The paper website only said Chicago, But I heard more from friends who work there at this time and in different dept. When each dept. Mgr. met with their folks, Downers Grove, India was brought up. Give me a break. Wait and see all the next cuts of citizen's that live in our community loose their jobs at the paper. Also, we didn't get chosen because of the older workers here. They only want lower paid workers and give them less benefits. In the long run they will realize this was a big mistake. But it won't last that long anyways. As Gatehouse will be bankrupt and can't pay it's bill. But go ahead and support M. Reeds 750K bonus while we loose. This isn't even counting his yearly wage that will come out in April. Plus it will show all his many perks. The worker's are going on four years of wage freeze and nothing on company 401K help. If you noticed Friday on the rrs website they posted a greased up story about this, and how it was going to benifit you. Then if you notice the post a comment was down till they pulled the story. WOW, Then it was fixed again. What was the odds of that. I can see the comments being down, but where did the story go on the website? It's called manipulation. Let's you and me Orville watch this year and see how many more jobs in Rockford are lost from the RRS paper. If under 5 people, I'll eat crow, If not then you post on here how wrong you were and apoligize to the Rock River Times. Why would I put an ad in a rag that treats their workers worse than a dog.

Evidently, That doesn't mean anyhing. You work and commit your life into sonething you believe in, You make sacrifices in your life, You work for a company for many years, And you find out it's jobs in India.
