57 million men and women would like to have a union in their
workplace for a chance to secure fair wages, affordable health care,
improved working conditions, and better rights on the job. So why
don't these workers have the basic protections of a union?
It's time the truth got out. Anti-union organizations and
for-profit 'unionbusting' consultants have greatly contributed to
workers experiencing enormous obstacles when trying to form unions.
The rise of these groups over the last few decades, their multi-million
dollar budgets, and their escalating attacks are no coincidence: it's
the result of a decades-long plan from right-wing ideologues bent on
dismantling labor organizations responsible for advancing the social
and economic interests of America's workers.
No doubt you've heard about the over-the-top anti-union ads produced by the Center for Union Facts.
The ads are the most recent, highly-visible example of the anti-union
network at work. And while there's a growing understanding about the
extensive right-wing infrastructure - responsible for dramatically
shifting public policy and altering our nation's political landscape -
a significant part of this movement has received much less attention. The anti-union network is well-financed, well-established, and well-coordinated—and yet virtually unknown.
Look behind the scenes as we expose the funding, the origins, the
tactics, the motives, and the players involved in undermining workers
and their unions.
