FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF MANCHESTER , NH
ATTENTION
NATIONAL, POLITICAL, NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYBOOK &
ASSIGNMENT EDITORS
Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin is
asking Market Basket corporate executives to stop threatening the company’s
employees
Andy is trying to stop the corporate/employee
confrontation from spiraling out of control
Andy says Market Basket workers have a right to
manifest their loyalty for the former management team that provided
above-average compensation for workers and below-average prices for shoppers
Andy says he is ignoring media attacks on him for
supporting Market Basket associates
(Manchester , NH August 5, 2014 )
Dear Granite Stater:
I have come under attack in the media for supporting Market
Basket employees. What are these self-styled media majordomos thinking? Or,
maybe, what are they smoking?
Market Basket is a crucial part of New
Hampshire ’s and New England ’s economy.
The company’s New Hampshire stores
alone generate over a billion dollars in revenue. Thousands of our neighbors
work there. Tens of thousands of persons depend on Market Basket paychecks.
And hundreds of thousands of New
Hampshire residents, myself included, depend on Market’s
Basket’s low prices and high-quality products to balance their family food budgets.
When a dispute threatens the economy of our state that matter
is not an entirely “private” matter. Yes, the private parties will ultimately
come to a settlement. But as a conservative I do not want to see the Market
Basket confrontation spiral out of control and damage either the company or the
employees, and certainly not the customers who depend on the company to deliver
high quality and low prices.
What the media do no not like is that I am demonstrating the
same type of public leadership I have shown for almost fifty years. Their
favored candidates are doing nothing and one candidate, Scott Brown, is
collecting millions from Wall Street pirates who have built their fortunes on
scab labor (Market Basket is not unionized, but management has threatened
associates with mass firings). These Wall Street raiders are drooling at the
prospect of cutting wages, eliminating benefits, lowering quality and stripping
Market Basket down to the bone.
It is interesting to see my primary opponents blathering
about the “economy” and “jobs,” but when it comes to actually standing shoulder-to shoulder with ordinary
working folk, they retreat to their private meeting rooms and ban media
coverage of their remarks. When push-comes-to-shove, I am the only genuine “New
Hampshire conservative” who is standing up for
ordinary citizens.
If you are a millionaire, maybe you don’t need my help. But
most New Hampshire citizens
struggle to make ends meet. What are my Republican opponents offering these
people? Absolutely nothing. The rest of the bunch of senate candidates are Mitt
Romney-type stock speculators (Rubens) or Mitt Romney wannabes (Brown).
We can’t win back the confidence of the public if we do not
stand up for public morality and public integrity. The Market Basket dispute, like
all other disputes, will eventually be settled. They always are. But I do not
want to see the company destroyed in the process. Thousands of New
Hampshire residents make their livelihoods working
for the economic engine that Arthur T. Demoulas has created for his staff and
his customers.
I stand with Mr. Demoulas and with his thousands of
employees; I am asking the out-of-state managers who parachuted into the Market
Basket corporate offices [in Massachusetts ]
to stop threatening employees with dismissals and other disciplinary sanctions.
These threats will boomerang and cost the company dearly. But then these
out-of-state managers really don’t care about New
Hampshire . They were brought here to remove Arthur T
and then to start dismembering the company. How many times have we seen these
tactics used in the past?
As your U. S. Senator I will put New Hampshire workers
first, not the interests of corporate raiders and Wall Street campaign
contributors who profit from closing plants, paying low wages and exporting
jobs to China (those people are all supporting my opponents). If you believe in
New Hampshire First and America First I am the only genuine article in the U.
S. Senate election - in either party.
As you are aware, my campaign has been running radio
advertising supporting Market Basket employees. Wednesday we will have another
exciting announcement in my continuing efforts to protect good jobs for New
Hampshire residents and good prices for New
Hampshire grocery shoppers. Aren’t you proud that at
least one Republican has his priorities straight?
Please join me in telling the newly-arrived, out-of-state
Market Basket corporate hucksters to respect New Hampshire/New England values
or go back where they came from.
Loyally,
Andy
P.S. I may be an underdog in the primary but I am the only Republican candidate who has the experience
and who is prepared to stand up for New Hampshire ’s
working families. It is not often a Republican candidate has a pro-worker
orientation. But there are more workers in this country than there are Scott
Brown-supporting billionaires. Please consider giving me your vote. Who is more
qualified to fight for your values? Who is more qualified to stand up for New
Hampshire ’s working families? (Hint: It’s not Jeanne
Shaheen or Scott Brown)
