WORKING DOG WONDERS November, 2000, edition
At a recent debate,
the two front runners for president of the WDW, Hairy Hidebound and Itchy
Innovator, barked and yelped most convincingly about their different views
on the role of the union's president. Most of Innovator's notions
were considered too radical by the older members, while Hidebound's ideas
( mostly regarding economy and preserving status quo) drew limited applause.
There was a noisy demonstration going on in the dry creekbed just outside
the culvert which brought down the county animal control and several of
the demonstrators (Rowdy Rasler supporters) were impounded.

NEWS FROM THE LOCALS; Local ll35, Kenosha,
Wisconsin. A collection was taken at the last meeting for an organizer
from Canada who is in this area learning about successful union practices
to help brothers north of the border in their efforts to unionize.
We all feel that strong sled dog and hunting dog locals there are in the
union's best interest. This organizer has been given some coverage
by the local press. See
