Excerpt:

"Our members’ decisive action to ratify this contract came just in the nick of time," said TCU National Vice President Arthur Maratea in a press release. "Right after we finalized the deal, Pan Am lost a major customer, and it has since significantly reduced its contract offer to unsigned unions."

Is the lost major customer one of the Maine paper mills?

Is the lost major customer one of the Maine paper mills?

My assumption is that they are talking about Bucksport set to close on or about Dec. 1, 2014.
