Strong newspapers and strong journalists are an important part of any community. By shrugging off the plight of 61 newsroom workers who are in WEEK 6 of a bitter labour dispute, you showed an arrogant lack of compassion and concern, not only for our members, but for your entire municipality and its citizens. Shame on you.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(20, 24, 35); font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Halifax Typographical Union</span></p> </div></div></div><div class="service-links"><a href="https://twitter.com/share?url=http://www.southcoasttoday.ca/content/opinion-shame-halifax-mayor-mike-savage&amp;count=horizontal&amp;via=&amp;text=Opinion: Shame on Halifax mayor Mike Savage&amp;counturl=http://www.southcoasttoday.ca/content/opinion-shame-halifax-mayor-mike-savage" class="twitter-share-button service-links-twitter-widget" title="Tweet This" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span class="element-invisible">Tweet Widget</span></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.southcoasttoday.ca/content/opinion-shame-halifax-mayor-mike-savage&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=false&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;width=100&amp;height=21&amp;font=&amp;locale=" title="I Like it" class="service-links-facebook-like" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span class="element-invisible">Facebook Like</span></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php" title="Share this post on Facebook" class="service-links-facebook-widget" rel="http://www.southcoasttoday.ca/content/opinion-shame-halifax-mayor-mike-savage" target="_blank">Share on Facebook</a></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/general/mike-savage" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">mike savage</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/general/chronicle-herald-strike" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">chronicle herald strike</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/general/halifax-typographical-union" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">halifax typographical union</a></div></div></div> Wed, 02 Mar 2016 16:24:50 +0000 Timothy Gillespie 4445 at http://www.southcoasttoday.ca http://www.southcoasttoday.ca/content/opinion-shame-halifax-mayor-mike-savage#comments
