Interesting, you don't usually see unionization at a company like this, since the hiring company will typically just fire the contractor when it happens.

It probably worked because Anheuser-Busch employees are unionized, and they would strike if the company tried to fire the contractors for voting to unionize.

That's what I'm thinking

"Local Contactor" sounds like a bad euphemism for a sex worker.

Prolly not far off, since these kind of companies are barely a step above a temp agency and workers often get screwed.
