    Union busting by proxy in Brewer Bangor Daily News, ME
    The company manager 'grabbed my lapel and flipped it over. He said he was looking for a union pin. Then he asked me if I had voted for the union.' Upper management reportedly requested a 'naughty and nice list' of union and nonunion. Then 28 workers got fired and only five got 'rehired,' the rest - many with 10 to 12 years on the job - were put out on the street with no severance pay, no insurance, nothing.
