Locked-out American Crystal Sugar workers Saturday narrowly rejected a contract offer from the Minnesota company for the fourth time, union officials said.

1. Another Christmas with me using cane sugar instead of beet.

Fuck Crystal Sugar. I find it bizarre that they can't find one little thing to budge on. Their operating costs are way up and their profits are down, and they still can't make a change to the contract. So sad.

2. I agree..Screw them

They are hell bent on starving out those workers and busting that union

3. I have 2 cash register receipts for cane sugar I have bought since the lock out

If I was a stockholder, I'd be pissed about changing buying habits that lead to a long time loss in business!

K&R!

4. Every time I buy a bag of C&H, I write a letter to Crystal Sugar.

Crystal Sugar was the ONLY sugar I bought, living in Minnesota all these years. Until the lockout.
