Anti-Union Tactics

Bosses generally
follow a predictable
pattern of harassment
and propaganda. The
following is a checklist
of some tactics you
can expect to see
during a union
organizing campaign.
What The Bosses Will Say About Unions




                     The union is a third
                     party, an outsider.
What The Bosses Will Say About Unions




The union will
disrupt the happy
family environment
we've created here.
What The Bosses Will Say About Unions




                   All the union wants
                   is your dues money.
What The Bosses Will Say About Unions



 We just got our
 wake-up call from
 you and we're
 listening. Give us
 another chance.
What The Bosses Will Say About Unions




                   The union will make
                   you go out on strike.
What The Bosses Will Say About Unions




 The union will ruin
 our organization
 and make us go
 broke.
What The Bosses Will Say About Unions




                     Unions are corrupt
                     and undemocratic.
What The Bosses Will Say About Unions




The union only
wants to run the
employer's
organization.
What The Bosses Will Say About Unions



                     We would increase
                     wages and benefits
                     but now we can't
                     because of the
                     union.
Sound Familiar?


If any of these tactics
sound familiar keep in
mind they have been
used over and over.
The key for workers is
SOLIDARITY during
the organizing
campaign.
