Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In August, 2017, the death knell sounded for yet another troubled American manufacturer: Appleton Coated, an historic paper mill in Wisconsin's Fox River Valley. The mill and its parts were set to be sold for scrap, devastating a community. But then the unlikely happened. A team of local union workers and public-spirited officials unearthed an obscure legal strategy to stop the sale, craft a profitable new business plan, and save the business and its hundreds of jobs. In a world where corporate and financial greed have crushed the dreams of countless Americans, the inspiring story of Appleton Coated offers a road map for fighting back-and winning.
