Union Thanks King for the Support

Dear Editor,
    As a member of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1091, I wanted to thank Michael King for his honest reporting [“Point Austin,” News, Nov. 14] on the labor dispute between our labor union and Cap Metro CEO Fred Gilliam. After getting blasted in the Statesman and KEYE News, it was great to see someone in the press say out loud that we weren't just a mob of greedy blood-sucking leeches. We got so much support on the picket line from people passing by that we knew we had support in the community, but it is nice to see it confirmed in print. Thank you.
