Laetitia Winery suing to keep the El Campo Road intersection open is a perfect example of American corporate greed, and it’s sickening! This insane intersection and some others up here on Highway 101 have always amazed me. People can say what they want about LA, but there isn’t one of these intersections down there that I can remember.
Being a union man from day one, the first word I thought of when I heard the news was the word “boycott.” If for no other reason, do it for the families of the dead and injured. And then I see that the CEO of the company said that he is against the lawsuit, but, because of it, he can’t comment.
What the … ? That sounds like a politician. Give me a break.
P.S. I’m not sure if I don’t like Al Fonzi or if I do like the man. He’s a very interesting fellow.

What sickens me is how willing you are to destroy a business with NO regard for the working class people that are feeding their families working at the facility.
I don’t know the details of the entire situation and I am sure you don’t either, but the problem is not with the winery. It is with Cal Trans and their failure to come up with a suitable solution that does no threaten anyone’s life of livelihood.
