all tell you why i am proud, the power and potency of the work of the teamsters. these guys are focusing on you more than their families. i was talking to some of the representatives on the teamsters. these are the truckers. these are the guys are out there doing logistics in the atf california, from farm to fork, making sure you are fed, making sure you feel good and confident that the sucking of our shelves is going to be abundant, even though there's some items that are a little scarce now. we are in a transition. 72 plus hours a week, working hard, getting home late, not even having time to pick up their own groceries. i want to tip my hat to the grocery store workers. 300, 400 people that are coming in contact during the course of the shift. their own health concerns are in play. we have to be sensitive. have a smile. i know we are all stressed. thank you for being there. they could go on unemployment. they are not. they are stepping up. in fact, not only that, 10,000 open jobs today. you have lost your job in the state of california, and you have skills? cal

so i think a case in point with what's happening with the teamsters and the department of labor traininghere as just a proof point that the model doesn't work you know in 2019 does it really make sense to have barrels of and slabs of paper going through machines that have to be cut that have to be sorted that have to get put on trucks that have to be driven around and dropped off. you know the once proud providence journal had a weekday circulation of 200000 that's down to about 30000 we spoke with the teamsters holland one of the things that they make the case for which we certainly agree with them they have an antiquated provision here holland that they are the paper of record that legal notices from cities and towns have to spend money on now they question why are you the paper of record if you're 30000 and why then if you're getting the subsidy from these localities can't you pay that over time to your workers again i think the proof is in the putting and could your platform be deemed to paper of record. you know i'll tell you. a monthly basis we get 700000 unique visitors now hollan

i was talking to some of the representative teamsters. these are the truckers, they are doing logistics in the warehouse, they are in the central valley farms making sure you are fed, making sure you feel good and confident at the stocking -- that the stocking of our shelves will be abundant even though there are some items that are a little scarce now, they give me all the confidence in the world. evenurs plus a week, note -- not even having time to pick up their own groceries. the grocery stores -- several hundred people they are coming into contact with in a shift. we have to be sensitive and tip your hat. have a smile while you are in line. thank them for being there. they could go on unemployment. they're not, they are stepping opentepping in, 10,000 jobs today. if you lost your job in the state of california call your local grocery. i assure you 10,000 as of yesterday open jobs just in that space. it redefines when we talk about heroes -- men and women in uniform absolutely but it is also folks that frankly we take for granted, that

journal has asked for an exemption from the state's time and a half overtime requirement and the teamstersthere accused the company of creating what they call a part time work force with no vacation pay kate as cutbacks of whack the journal in recent years how are their numbers their circulation and how are your clicks. so i think column a case in point with what's happening with the teams there is in the department of labor a training here as just a proof point that the model doesn't work. you know in 2019 does it really make sense to have barrels of and slabs of paper going through machines that have to be cut that have to be sorted that have to get put on trucks that have to be driven around and dropped off. you know the once proud providence journal had a weekday circulation of 200000 that's down to about 30000 we spoke with the teamsters holland one of the things that they make the case for which we certainly agree with them they have an antiquated provision here holland that they are the paper of record that legal notices from cities and towns have to spend money on now they question
