    "This project is moving along great, and that's because of the Labor Union and all the organized trades that have all played their part." Wait a second! That's the radio ad for the labor union! I've been brainwashed. Could it be because the radio spot runs every ten minutes during Cardinals games!? But hey, I got to hand it to someone. The highway is moving along rapidly. What was a dirt ravine for months and months (photos here) suddenly looks like an interstate.​In this photo from yesterday

That's how many other non-union employees, trainers, owners, jockeys and track personnel will likely lose their livelihoods if the track's season is cut so drastically.It doesn't take a gambling geni

  • St. Louis Post-Dispatch Employees May Pony Up $500,000 To Sully Lee Enterprises

    Wikimedia Commons​Negotiations between the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's corporate parent and the local union that represents the paper's staff have so deteriorated that union officials have agreed to free up $500,000 in union assets for tarring and feathering. The St. Louis Newspaper Guild is now seeking P-D employees willing to deploy a variety of smear tactics against Lee Enterprises, from badmouthing the Iowa-based company in the Twitter-verse, to pressuring P-D advertisers to come out i
