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.
