Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a
news conference today, Monday, August 25th to announce he has again offered to
help mediate a final settlement of the Market Basket controversy. “I don’t
think the governors are helping the resolution process, at all,” Andy says.
“They are politicians and, in the case of Gov. Patrick, he has a glaring
conflict of interest. I have actual experience settling family disputes, and I
understand the underlying issues of Greek culture that has made this ongoing
controversy so difficult to mediate. My TV ad and video are paid for and will
continue to run. (The ad and video can be seen on Andy’s web site.) When people
have fought so bitterly, for so many years it is difficult to work up a
settlement over the weekend. That's the reality, not Gov. Hassan’s and
Patrick’s rosy-colored news releases. I am the only Republican candidate who
has stood 100% behind the employees and I continue to do so.”

FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF MANCHESTER , NH
ATTENTION
NATIONAL, POLITICAL, NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYBOOK &
ASSIGNMENT EDITORS
Andy says Govs. Hassan and Patrick are not
helping the parties reach a settlement; Patrick has an egregious conflict of
interest
Andy says his TV ads supporting Market Basket
employees will continue to run on local television
(Manchester , NH August 25, 2014 )
Dear Granite Stater:
Last week my campaign placed advertising with WMUR-TV supporting Market Basket workers. I wondered
if the ads would run before the conflict was over. Of course, I should have
known better. Govs. Hassan and Patrick were making rosy-colored predictions that
the Demoulas Family conflict was over. Neither of them has any experience
settling family disputes; I do. When people have been at each others’ throats
for so many years it is very difficult for them to abandon their feelings over
a weekend.
The potential “settlement,” moreover, appears to be a very
complicated one involving family and non-family entities.
I would like to see Market Basket associates back at work as
soon as possible. So I have renewed my offer to help mediate the conflict and
sit down personally with the ”two Arthurs.” Here is my letter (with the
masthead removed):
-----
Board of Directors and

Demoulas Supermarkets, Inc.
Renewed Offer to mediate
Dear Board Members and
DMB Executives:
On July 18th I offered to
help mediate the conflict which has assumed national proportions.
This week (August 25th) I am
starting TV advertising supporting the associates of Market Basket.
I don’t think the politicians
(Hassan and Patrick) can be of much help because neither of them has any actual
experience negotiating intractable family disputes.
While of necessity I support
Arthur T because I want to see the associates back at work as soon as possible,
I also appreciate and respect the honor inherent in Arthur S’s position.
Because I grew up in a New Hampshire Greek-American family I understand the
exceptional implications of “honor” in settling a Greek family controversy.
Yesterday I attended a church
festival at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church in Manchester Manchester America
Obviously, my understanding
of Greek-American culture runs deep.
I can help you reach a
resolution. Often, once an agreement in principle is reached the parties often
recoil from a final surrender of battlements they have long occupied.
I want the associates back at
work ASAP. I think the “two Arthurs” and I could resolve the matter more
expeditiously than having a table at which politicians are posturing and
issuing premature reports on the settlement progress.
If I can be of any help,
please do not hesitate to call me.
Sincerely yours,
ANDY MARTIN
