Didn't they offer anyone the opportunity to transfer to Muscatine, so you can keep living the dream?
I know that was offered to members of plants that were shut down a few years ago.

If not, it may be due to the fact that former unionized members might stir up the masses in Muscatine.

Oh well, at least one board member has resigned.
Now all we need is a couple more..

On October 20, 2009, Joseph E. Scalzo submitted his resignation from HNI Corporation's Board of Directors to be effective after the Corporation's Board of Directors' meeting on November 19, 2009, due to time demands of Mr. Scalzo's new position as Chief Operating Officer of Dean Foods Company.
