Samsung chair imprisoned and 24 others found guilty in union-busting case

So 18 months in prison for the following union busting activities (among others):

* gathering personal information on some union members, such as their marital status, personal finances, and mental-health histories.

* threatening to cut the wages of employees linked to unions

* withdraw business from subcontractors who appeared union-friendly

* clos[ed] sub-contracted firms with active unions

* used "sensitive information about union members to convince them to leave"

With a list of offences that long, the sentence does seem to sit on the side of leniency.

A 1.5 year sentence probably means that with some good behavior, the sentence will have be served in less than a year.

I don’t think the list is that long. The main charge must be he forgot to share some profits with the right people in the government.

Compared to the token fines US firms receive, seeing a white collar criminal sentenced to prison is refreshing.
