| Abstract: | The paper provides a qualitative analysis of the services that the anti-union consultants and law firms have provides to American employers during the past three decades and an account of the campaign tactics of several 'superstars' of the union-free movement. It describes a multi-million dollar industry that has helped employers to circumvent the intent of federal labour law through a vast array of union-busting tactics, implemented before the union arrives and continuing until after it is defeated: tactics that are designed, at every juncture, to undermine employees' free choice of bargaining representatives. |
