Versus Becomes And---Finding Common Ground
Management vs. Labor. Ford vs. GM vs. Chrysler. Comerica vs. Chase vs. Fifth Third. Lear vs. Visteon. City vs. Suburbs. Politically Right vs. Politically Left. Domestic vs. Global.
Most days, we can find competition between groups or organizations fighting for market position, or for social justice, or for a particular point of view. Yet, what often goes unseen is when those same competitors come together around common purpose.
United Way is one of the few places in community that VERSUS becomes AND. I am often in work where companies/individuals that compete fiercely check the competition at the door and sit next to each other---work with each other--- for the purpose of improving community. Quite honestly, I get to see each day our region at its best.
The other day, management AND Labor Detroit Newspaper Partnership, Detroit Free Press, Detroit News came together to help community. Many in our region often have the imprint of strife from the strike long ago. Not today. Not now. Not for the purpose of community.
This is one example of how the leadership of management (Publisher David Hunke) and the leadership of labor (local union presidents/representatives) put community first. The focus is on writing a 'new story' of progress for the region.
