| PORTLAND, Maine, Oct 14, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Unum (NYSE: UNM) was named the best large employer in Maine on Tuesday,
the fourth consecutive year the company has received recognition in
the "Best Places to Work in Maine" competition. The award recognizes
companies that have established and consistently promote outstanding
workplace environments, and this year a total of 31 Maine businesses
were named as finalists.
