where's the stuff about the renovations?????

the reason the IH workers were on strike - the sole reason was the mandatory overtime. Archie knew this. he also wanted to renovate the plants - most of them were from the turn of the century. they had to be shut down. A shut down caused by IH would make them liable for paying unemployment, which Archie was too cheap to do! so he made them strike & take the PR hit.Kmac1036 (talk) 18:11, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
