Union Bashing A Big Business By John Logan
LOS ANGELES -- Here's a Labor Day question for all the budding law students out there. What federal right has inspired the creation of an entire industry dedicated to its destruction? Need a few clues? Congress enacted landmark legislation protecting this right almost 70 years ago, but that law is now routinely violated with virtual impunity. And the industry committed to undermining this right is worth hundreds of millions of dollars per year, yet operates practically unhindered by regulation.
The federal right in question is, of course, the right to choose a union, enshrined in law in 1935 when Congress passed the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). And the industry dedicated to undermining that law is the antiunion consultant industry. The NLRA attempted to extend a degree of democracy to the American workplace by allowing workers to form unions free from employer interference.------------------------------------------- posted 6:40 AM :: reference link ::
