A New Game Plan For Union Organizing (2) By Harry Kelber
This is the second of eight articles on union organizing.
• Employers spend $300 million a year on consultants trained to stop workers from forming unions.
• 10,000 workers are fired each year for attempting to join a union.
• 91% of employers force their employees to attend “captive audience” meetings where they have to listen to anti-union propaganda.
• 75% of employers use supervisors to pressure workers in one-on-one meetings to disown the union when they try to organize.
* In one-third of the cases where workers vote for a union, employers never agree to a first contract.------------------------------------------- posted 6:40 AM :: reference link ::
