Perception vs Reality



"Mayor Eddie Francis's State of the City address May 14 ruffled some feathers. In a rare step for a mayor of union-strong Windsor, Francis suggested labour leaders refrain from talking tough - lest potential investment be scared off."

These words, infuriated Buzz Hargrove... insisting that the CAW is NOT militant, not threatening and does no harm to the perceived image of Windsor as a welcoming, prosperous and investment worthy city...

then today's paper...

Tough talk
"CAW boss vows to 'take down' GM if transmission plant is left out of future plans..."

Yep, it's a perception problem alright, no militancy here. Way to "court" new investment Buzz! Why waste money on flowers and candy when you can just cut to the chase with "pick me or else!" Hey wait... if GM was a woman, he'd be in jail!
