The teamsters need to pick their battles more carefully. Local businesses that choose to advertise in the News-Press are doing so to stimulate new business for themselves by reaching a broad group of potential clients, the readers. By advertising in the News-Press, businesses are simply making a wise business decision. It is quite pathetic that the teamsters send out their uneducated flyer distributors to threaten local Santa Barbara businesses for the fact that they are advertising in one of our communities major outlets. I encountered a group of the "flyer distributors" the other day and after seeing the way they presented themselves and the unprofessional looking flyer they were attempting to hand out to the public I lost any respect I had for their cause. If they're going after local businesses for advertising in one of the major local outlets (the SB News-Press) than why not threaten everyone that reads the News-Press as well. Additionally, it was interesting to discover that some of the "flyer distributors" do not even live in Santa Barbara, yet they are coming to OUR community, attempting to disrupt our local economy, during these difficult, volatile times nonetheless. Note to the Teamsters: If you want Santa Barbara to take you more seriously, don't send uneducated, misinformed scum bags into our community for your cause.... It only sets you back. Support Santa Barbara and all of our local businesses!
