Woodchip export workers started a strike today over the lack of pay and benefits. Uniwood, however, had different plans. Crazed Marines' largest wood product poducer brought in non-union workers to break up the strike and planned to fire the whole union. However, when one worker fired on the security officers who were beating up his coworker. The security forces fired back and all hell broke loose. Three hundred and seventy-three workers were killed, one thousand workers wounded, one hundred security killed, and three hundred and twelve wounded. Congress has now passed a law forbiding private security forces from breaking strikes.
