Correction

Anyone who believes that a 1 week boycott against AMCs WOULDN’T make national news needs to have their head examined.

***SHUTDOWNS MAKE NATIONAL HEADLINES***

The one thing that appraisers should take away from this is that YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SHUT DOWN AMCS. You’ve always had the power to shut them down but you’ve all been too much of a wuss to organize.

Anyone who believes that a 1 week national boycott against AMCs would make national news needs to have their head examined.
“But…but…but…that would require work on my part and I would have to go without a weeks pay”.

My Response:
No ship Sherlock. How’s that 30% to 50% annual pay cut working out for you?

Appraisers will grow the billiards to boycott AMCs when L freezes over.
