Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at a First Amendment Dinner for a non-profit foundation with ties to the Union Leader newspaper.
Biden will speak in Concord Nov. 10 at a fundraiser for the Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications, according to a press release. It will be the second time this year that Biden has been to the state. In late spring, he spoke at a New Hampshire Democratic Party fundraiser in Nashua.
Meanwhile... Concord Monitor:
Manchester Newspaper Guild President Norm Welsh says Union Leader Corp. President Joseph W. McQuaid told the union it must agree to a 10 percent pay cut and other concessions by the end of October or see layoffs of at least six members, including three experienced reporters and two advertising professionals.
The cut would be on top of a 12 percent salary reduction and other givebacks the union accepted two years ago, Welch said.
Union members participated in an informational picket last Saturday at the home of Ovide Lamontagne, a Republican gubernatorial candidate who was hosting a house party for Perry.
Two years ago Vice President Biden canceled an appearance at a mayors' conference in Rhode Island rather than cross a firefighters' picket line. The White House explained:
"While this administration is taking no position on the circumstances of the dispute itself, we have always respected picket lines, and administration officials will not cross this one," Gibbs said.
If Union Leader union workers decide to picket the Nackey Loeb fundraiser on November 10 (and given their strategy outlined above with Ovide, I would presume it), I will expect my Vice President to do the same.
Yes, I know we are talking about the chronically right-wing Union Leader here. And no, that doesn't matter one bit. Democrats stand for workers' rights - period.
