Union Busting Increasing!

Study Says Antiunion Tactics Are Becoming More Common is an important May 19, 2009 article by NY Times Reporter Steven Greenhouse. Greenhouse previews a upcoming scholarly article by Cornell ILR Professor Kate Bronfenbrenner which documents some stunning statistics including:
-57% of employers have threatened to close plants in union organizing campaigns
-47 % of employers have threatened to reduce wages or benefits in union organizing campaigns
-34% of employers fired pro-union workers in campaigns

Do you think we need labor law reform?? This article should be example number one in favor of the Employee Free Choice Act.

UPDATE: A copy of Professor Bronfenbrenner's article is available here.
