I’m writing in reply to last week’s letter to the editor Golf course can’t function without groundskeepers.
Are groundskeepers important to the operation of Superior National at Lutsen golf course? Absolutely! That is one of the reasons SNL has budgeted to add to the groundskeeping staff and has designated funds to enable hourly increases for all, the first in five years or more.
Patently untrue is the statement that management will be guaranteed a 10 percent increase each year. What employer would make such an agreement? Also, there is a difference in providing insurance or making insurance available for purchase by the employee.
As we move forward to improve SNL we need the best efforts of staff, management, the EDA and the county to make SNL an operation that residents and tourists together will enjoy for the next decades.
