Below is a story picked up from CBS News.  Apparently UNITE HERE is in the process of trying to force card-checks on the employees of Prudential Overall Supply.

Company intimidation is not new for Big Labor and while UNITE HERE has neither taken credit for the fire or been linked at this early time to the fire, it is not beyond the realm of possibilities.  For more information on the problem of union sponsored violence go to: http://www.nrtwc.org/facts-issues/fuva.htm
