1. Heard a story today about their plants in the Green Bay area

One is unionized. Another across town is not. They are running the unionized plant into the ground to get rid of the union.

Came to me through the grapevine. Perhaps someone here can elaborate.

2. I think that is true...

a friend has a sister who works at the non-unionized plant, and they are told not to talk about work outside of the workplace. They are given a manual that they must read and are quizzed on periodically, and they must write down their work goals....for crying out loud, these people make toilet paper!!!! Koch Brothers at their best...
