Who ever heard of Kingsport Tennessee?

It's a small one company town in the northeast corner of Tennessee - near Bristol. I went to 2nd and 3rd grades there. I have never seen it in the national news. The powers that be there have a very strong grip on the media and drive public opinion. They are staunchly anti-union.

I never expected to hear labor news from there. If somebody had said, "Labor news will come from there," I would have guessed it was in the form of anti-union actions of Eastman Chemical or one of it's vendors. Well, I would have been right. It is amazing to me that 33 truck drivers there decided to go Teamster. It does not surprise me that they were summarily fired for it. The powers that be there do feel like they are above the law. Hopefully, they will be taught a lesson.
