Union Busting

Union busting refers to actions taken by employers to prevent, weaken, or dismantle labor unions that represent employees. This can include creating policies to discourage union formation, intimidating workers, or even hiring consultants to reduce union influence. The goal for employers is often to maintain control over workplace conditions and costs without negotiated agreements. While some strategies may be legal, others can be unethical or illegal, such as harassment or interference with union activities. Overall, union busting aims to diminish collective worker power in favor of individual employer control.
