Heavy dues for unions By ALan Lupo, Boston Globe
Labor says management is aggressively going after workers who try to unionize the workplace, that 25 percent of the nation's employers have fired at least one worker for union organizing activity, and that 75 percent of employers have hired consultants or 'union-busters' to combat organizing efforts. Only 13.5 percent of the nation's 245 million workers belong to unions, down from 20 percent in 1983, but labor contends that small percentage of membership would jump to 47 percent if workers could choose freely.------------------------------------------- posted 7:15 AM :: reference link ::
