Didn't we always suspect Mr. Oreck of being a slimeball?

Hmmm thought this would have conjured up a tad more discussion.

Don't judge Oreck too harshly here

Not that I'm a fan of Oreck vacs, but give the company some credit. That factory was nearly wiped out by Katrina, and half the workforce left town and didn't return. The insurance premiums doubled. Frankly I'm amazed they were able to reopen it for 16 months and I think it says a lot for the company that they even tried.

I was also was amazed that they re-opened so quickly.
