Cooperative Printing--Full Speed Ahead

For example, when Cooperative Printing opted to adopt digital workflows, Upper Midwest Local 1M restructured its approach to adapt to the new digital technologies.

Realizing that today's unions must be less restrictive of a company's need to compete, Upper Midwest Local 1M has been receptive to working with Cooperative Printing to either find or create the skilled labor base it needs, according to General Manager Dennis Hanson. Thus, the printer and union have been successful at negotiating issues such as wages, equipment staffing and employee training to create a customer-driven organization.
