Susan Collins' Husband Accused of Union-Busting in Paper Strike

Original: Susan Collins’ Corporate Lobbyist Husband Was a Union Buster During IP Paper Strike

The Maine AFL-CIO is alleging that Thomas Daffron, the husband of Senator Susan Collins of Maine, worked as a corporate lobbyist representing International Paper during a paper mill strike in which the company sought to break the union. The labor federation's claim is drawing attention to Collins' political standing in a pro-union state and renewing scrutiny of her family's ties to corporate anti-labor efforts.

Why now: Labor groups are resurfacing the senator's husband's role in an old strike as unions pressure Collins and other Maine politicians ahead of elections.
