This plant is in Bucksport. Any State-o-Mainers here who can provide feedback?

I’m not from Maine, but this sounds familiar: the union, having driven the plant out of business, now thinks it’s entitled to dictate the terms of its sale.

They’re completely oblivious. Probably voted for Dimocrats all their lives too.

If you sell it cheap enough and/or bribe people sufficiently, you can always unload it. Across the street from us in our industrial plant, we have what was a state of the art specialty glass manufacturing plant 13 years ago.

It sat vacant for over a decade before it got its proud new life of processing fracking water.

Missoula, Montana used to have a paper mill, a fiberboard mill, half a dozen sawmills and numerous sawyers and logging truck drivers. There might be one sawmill left. It wasn’t the unions, it was the environmentalists.
