That's very sad. (I've been pretty busy and hadn't heard about it until now.) Calumet has been very good to CIPNE ("Commercial/Industrial Photographers of New England"), whereof I think I'm still a member. Come to think of it, CIPNE isn't doing too well itself, I'm afraid. Anybody who could spare a few hours a month could probably take over as President, with the heartfelt gratitude of the membership.
But anybody who blames Calumet for screwing its employees should get a grip. That's the way capitalism works, and is intended to work.
Rubbish.Robert CoeEric Stevens
That too is sad, but it's the way it is.
But not the way it should be.
Employees should be considered as secured creditors, and IMHO should have a level of protection.
