Union busting company... didn't want to negotiate with the unions... The workers went on strike, Timex fired the strikers, hired strikebreakers... and ended up shutting down the factory 6 months later when management could not deliver a compliant non-union workforce.

Google "Timex Dundee"... I know it's back in 1993 but still....

I won't knowingly buy Timex products.

Back to the OP.... great way to show to the electorate how in touch they are with the community... but then it probably doesn't matter if Koch money gets involved.
