 Jan. 2. 2024 | ORGANIZING | This year was an exciting one for labor, marked by high-profile strikes and stunning worker victories. But it wasn’t all bread and roses.

There are a lot of ways to bust a union; not all of them are legal, but the rickety labor laws in the U.S. are permissive enough that employers are allowed to get away quite a bit of anti-union activity during a contentious union drive. According to the Economic Policy Institute, employers spend $433 million per year on union-avoidance consultants—outside specialists who are brought in and paid hundreds of dollars per hour to convince workers not to unionize.
