Michigan - The Detroit Newspaper Agency (DNA) was forced to ferry out by helicopter the September 10 Sunday edition of its scab paper as mass pickets kept the gate of its printing plant here closed from late Saturday afternoon, September 9, to 4:15 a.m.
A broad spectrum of unions from the area were represented on the September 9 picket line.
The company's goal was nakedly stated by Detroit News editor and publisher Robert Giles in an interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer September 2.
The agency manages the advertising, circulation, and other business operations of the Detroit News, owned by the Gannett, Co., and the Detroit Free Press, owned by Knight- Ridder, Inc. In 1989, a Joint Operating Agreement was reached that allowed the papers to merge certain operations as long as they remained editorially separate.
When the police tried to clear the entrance to the plant, the workers stood their ground and the cops were unable to force a wedge to clear the driveway.
As traffic began to move again on MoundRoad, motorists who had been delayed by the police action honked enthusiastically for the strikers as they drove by.
