Voice@Work Offers Wealth of Materials But Avoids Workers’ Troubling Questions
Voice@Work assumes that it is helping unions improve their faltering organizing campaigns by repeatedly advertising the employers’ intimidating tactics and inviting abused victims to tell their horror stories at rallies and in videos. Here is their litany, with statistics, of the lengths employers will go to protect their “union-free environment:”
25% of employers fire at least one worker for union activity during organizing campaigns.
75% of employers hire union-busting “consultants” to help them fight organizing drives.
78% of employers force their workers to attend one-on-one meetings with their supervisors to pressure them against unions.
92% of employers compel their work force to attend mandatory “captive audience” meetings to listen to anti-union propaganda.
52% of employers threaten to call the Immigration and Naturalization Service to intimidate their undocumented workers during an organizing campaign.
51% of employers threaten to close their plants and relocate elsewhere if the union wins an NLRB election.------------------------------------------- posted 7:32 PM :: reference link ::
