Minneapolis newspaper supports unions. Unless it’s their workers’ union.

support_unions_stickerThe Minneapolis Star Tribune loves the working class. They love big labor. Until it comes to its own workers and their union.

The struggling Star-Trib wants a bankruptcy court to void its contract with the printer’s union so the newspaper can save $3.5 million a year in labor costs.

In a written statement, the Star-Tribune’s management said, “Yes, we are hypocritical boneheads whose political philosophy has guided us to the verge of bankruptcy. We humbly apologize for all the poorly conceived pro-labor editorials we’ve written over the years.”

To be entirely truthful, the Star-Tribune didn’t really say anything remotely resembling that previous paragraph.

But don’t you think they should have?
