Dhimbil Posted January 24, 2006 You can work but you can't own! City council of mpls recently took very lucrative parking ramp contract from MPI, employee owned company with significant Somali and minority employees and awarded the contract to large white owned company from the west coast. The reasons cited were very weak like MPI didn’t have good marketing skills? Give me a break. And to make it worst, they are reassuring the employees by offering employment with the new company...what the hell? Here is the story Op-ed from local black owned newspaper Background info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dhimbil Posted January 25, 2006 ^saxiib nothing will get done. The new contract is for 3yrs. MPI will probably go out of business as gov. was their only client and the employees will be hired by the new company. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
