    Unionizing tactic could face shake-up - By Alana Roberts, In Business Las Vegas
    Business interests are trying to keep salts out of their companies.

    Not table salt or Epsom salts, but union salts -- union organizers who get hired by companies with the purpose of organizing the businesses.

    Proposed legislation that employer groups are pushing in Congress seeks more employer control over their job sites by relaxing a federal labor law to allow business leaders more leeway in deciding to hire or fire a union salt. Business advocates say union salts are disruptive to job sites.
