    President's Perspective
    Guild Joined by Large, SymboIic Rat
    In Show of Solidarity at Reuters

    (Jan. 29) Over lunch hour on a crisp, clear day, WBNG members joined with their brothers and sisters from the New York Guild in an informational picket line outside Reuters offices near the White House. In declaring impasse at the bargaining table, writes Mark Pattison, management at the profitable international news operation is acting like the giant inflatable rat that also took part in the demonstration.
    Bowling for Dollars "Ah, the burdens of leadership," writes Pattison. "It’s not enough being president of a Newspaper Guild local: I have to anchor a bowling team," which put it all on the line(s) at a recent fund-raiser.
    Union Privilege: The Gift That Keeps on Giving Pattison notes that he's not the first Guild member to wonder why the union doesn't do a better job of promoting the Union Privilege program.
