[PrintOwners] Re:the union bug

[Aloha Print & Copy, LLC]

When I said "over-the-seas" internet printers, I meant like the  
Philippines, not the water between Maine and Atlas Printing in Mass.  
As for you being a son of a former Machinists Union District Business  
Agent, I was a daughter of a Machinists No. 9 and a granddaughter of  
a Billposter No. 5 however that will not get me jobs. Our shop wasn't  
Union in the beginning because we didn't want to put a Mom and Pop  
shop located around the corner, out of business. When they closed up  
shop, due to illness, we then became Union. Our reputation was  
already established as hard, honesty working printers. I really  
wonder about the printers on this list that want to mock the Union  
with fake bugs. It's like buying a knock off. You should be proud of  
your work with or without the bug, but you shouldn't be using it just  
to get jobs. Hold your head up high when you produce a job, don't  
hide behind a symbol that doesn't belong to you.
