WSM employees call for moratorium
Just got a fax saying that a group of Weaver Street Market employees will call for a moratorium against the coop’s proposal to move its food prep operations to Hillsborough.
According to the fax, more than 100 employees have signed a petition calling for the moratorium. It will be presented to the coop’s board of directors at a meeting tonight at Carrboro Elementary School at 6:30 p.m.
The meeting is open to the public.
I’ll post the full text ASAP.

Norwood
Ran into Mr. Norwood Cheek after the BoA meeting Tuesday. He was in great spirits and passed on details of his NC Records enterprise. In town with his bride for a visit.
