The Wright Screw Co. Inc.

To our loyal employees;

As the CEO of this business, I have accepted the fact that Barack Obama is our new President and changes are here. Due to governmental intervention in health care, taxes, environmental mandates and all sorts of fees, our operational costs will rise in a BIG way.

To compensate for this additional overhead, our clients would normally receive an increase in our prices of about 15%; the dismal state of our economy doesn’t allow for those increases at this time, Instead, we will have to lay off some of our 255 employees. This unfortunate economic reality caused much distress in the boardroom and with me in particular, as we believe we are family here. For many days I wrestled with this quandary; how to choose who will have to go.

After considerable thought, this is what I did. I sauntered through our parking lot, found 46 Obama bumper stickers on our employees’ cars. I decided the first laid off are these folks. There is no fairer way to approach this problem.

They wanted change; I gave it to them.

If you have a different idea, take it up with the union.

Sincerely,
The Owner
