The city I live in ruins good jobs, not only in the city, but all across the state. If I was the President of Olin/Winchester, I’d move my company to a more company-friendly state too. And Durbin and Costello, as anti-gun as they are, they’re the LEAST persons qualified to keep a firearm ammunition company in IL.

This company is simply trying to get away from the Unions. Good for them. Those jobs belong to the company not the employee or their union. Long live the Right to Work States!!!
