    CUPE slams yellow dog tactics by Judy Rebick - rabble news
    (In the early days of the American labour movement, corporations forced workers to sign away their rights to unionize as a precondition of employment. These contracts became known as %u201Cyellow dog contracts%u201D since employees were deemed to have to cower before their %u201Cmasters%u201D to get a job. Any situation in which workers must sign away better working conditions for lower wages falls into the same category.)
