When employees try to organize a union for a better and more secure job, employers often fight back strong – in the form of union-busting.
Union-busting is any action by management to prevent employees from exercising their right to organize. Union busting attorneys train supervisors on what to say to persuade workers to vote down a union. The “script” doesn’t change much.
