Ohio Business Owner Shot For Being Non-Union, Police Investigating<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

With around 25 employees, John King owns one of the largest non-union electrical contracting businesses in the Toledo, Ohio area. As a non-union contractor, his business happens to be doing well at a time when unions in the construction industry are suffering. This, it seems, has made the usual animosity unions have for him even greater, making him a prime target of union thugs. So much so, that one of them tried to kill him last week at his home.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Much more at the link, including the union’s long history of harassing and threatening John King, and also a news video.<\/p>\n
