Employers Close the Door

This chapter is about employers’ increased resistance to union organizing. It shows how mainstream employers first tried to weaken labor law by uniting in the Labor Law Reform Group. They then stepped up their efforts to bend and break the law, developing and honing a new set of techniques to fight union organizing, promulgated through the vastly expanded “union avoidance” industry. It includes a section on the labor law reform effort of 1978-79.
