Jackson Lewis: One Stop Shopping for Union Busting Lessons and OSHA Directors

It's pretty frightening out there for companies just sitting around minding their own business. You've got this new "Change To Win" union things that's boasting "$750 Million per Year Pledged for Organizing," and the AFL-CIO reacting "to New Competition by Pledging Aggressive Organizing of its Own." And then there's all those "Neutrality Agreements, Card Checks, and Corporate Campaigns Used Widely to Unionize Without NLRB Elections."

The discussions are frank. No recording devices are allowed. Individuals affiliated with union organizations are not eligible for registration. Jackson Lewis reserves the right to refuse participation in the program to anyone other than a bona-fide management representative.
