"UAEL" New “Help Wanted” policy: $50 a line with a four line minimum We are hoping that the Help Wanted ads not only
help people find jobs, and companies find people, but help support
at least for the website work of our staff. Alexa
reports our site as number three in most visited.
We also send out 5,000 e-mail to readers who must
ask to join our mailing list. We do not spam. We
are also very well read as per the many testimonials
we receive, and we find people jobs. To help support our efforts, we are charging
for "Help Wanted" ads. We are much cheaper than our "competitors."
See for yourself: http://www.monitordaily.com/1mediakit/online_adv.pdf
The issue should not be that we are not cheaper,
but a better buy, as we get results. We have regular,
loyal readers. Most of our news comes from insiders:
our readers. The price per line is $50.00. The minimum size
ad will be four lines. Words may be abbreviated.

only minor changes will be made. Companies who commit to three months in advance

for over 24 years now and this is the deadest year I
have ever seen in terms of new business originations and this is the third
recession/economic slowdown I have been through. From
conversations with some of the CFO's or Treasurers, etc. of some of our lessees that I occasionally
talk to it is pretty clear that none of them are acquiring equipment except
to replace existing equipment that is just worn out or uneconomical
to keep fixing. Russ Wilder --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- West Coast dockworkers, shipping companies reach
tentative agreement By Justin Pritchard, Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO (AP) West Coast dockworkers and
shipping companies have reached a tentative contract
agreement that could end the drawn-out labor dispute
that shut down the coast's major ports for 10 days
and prompted the president to intervene. The six-year deal would provide wage and benefit
improvements for union members, plus technology
and dispute-resolution improvements that the companies
needed, said Peter Hurtgen, head of the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service. He praised both sides, saying lead negotiators
''demonstrated statesmanlike leadership, which made
this agreement possible.'' The agreement, reached late Saturday, still
must be ratified by a majority of the 10,500 members
of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
A caucus of about 100 union members will meet Dec.
7 to vote on the contract, and the entire rank-and-file
will probably vote on it in early January, according
to union president Jim Spinosa. The major sticking points in the negotiations
had centered on the desire by the Pacific Maritime
Association, the industry group, for computerized
cargo tracking systems that will make dockside work
more efficient, but also cost an estimated 400 jobs.
The union, in return, wanted increased compensation
and pension benefits. ''With this contract we are ushering in a new
era of modernization,'' Joseph Miniace, president
of the PMA, said Sunday. ''Workers can harness technology and make it
work for them,'' said AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer
Richard Trumka, who joined the negotiations. ''They
can bridle it, saddle it and ride it to job, pension
and economic security.'' Hurtgen declined to give details of the agreement
but expressed confidence workers would be pleased.
''I think once they see the magnitude of the
pension increases, the wage increases it would be
phenomenal if they were to turn that down,'' he
said. Miniace said health care costs are expected
to nearly double from $220 million a year to $500
million by the end of the deal. Pensions, he said,
will end up costing companies more then $1 billion.
Sources familiar with the negotiations said
workers can expect raises of 10 to 15 percent over
the six years. In Tacoma, Wash., local union Vice President
Dick Marzano said workers were glad to have an agreement
before the Dec. 27 end to a Taft-Hartley cooling-off
period that was imposed by President Bush. ''It's a lot better to have an agreement in
hand through the collective bargaining process so
both sides can feel they've accomplished something,''
he said. The dockworkers' previous contract expired in
July. Union member Bernard Bowden, 45, of Antioch,
said he felt ''relief and a lot of apprehension''
about the tentative agreement. ''Six years? You know how things change,'' said
Bowden, who has worked at Oakland's port since 1983.
''It's too long to have a contract.'' The shippers' association had locked out dockworkers
at the 29 major Pacific ports for 10 days, leading
President Bush to invoke the Taft-Hartley law to
open the docks Oct. 9 to avoid an economic crisis.
The ports handle more than $300 billion in trade
each year. The union's top lawyer, Rob Remar, said hard
feelings among rank-and-file over use of Taft-Hartley
could complicate ratification. ''There's a real
bitterness that is going to linger with them for
a long time,'' he said. |
