Study: Union Busting on the Rise Courtesy of IAM iMail

Employers continue to regularly use both legal and illegal anti-union tactics to undermine union efforts to organize workers, according to new data from the workers’ rights advocacy group American Rights at Work.

The study found 82 percent of employers hire union-busting consultants to fight organizing drives and 91 percent of employers force employees to attend one-on-one anti-union meetings with supervisors.

Additional union-busting tactics commonly used by employers included dismissing pro-union workers, threats to close worksites and coercion in the form of bribery or favoritism.

The findings further reinforce the fact union-membership is not in decline because workers do not want to join a union, but rather because of a near-universal effort by employers to use any means necessary to thwart union efforts.

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord had promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
