      By unionization… The stronger the labour force is, the less they are able to get pushed around like this.

        Well yes. My question is how can we change union busting, because that’s what the article is about.

          By unionizing.

          To afford good lawyers in order to fight back, unions need money, which requires more members to pay union dues.

          To keep politicians honest and to credibly threaten their electibility, unions need more members that can be politically mobilized.

          It’s a feedback loop. The more people unionize, the more powerful unions become and the more powerful unions become, the more they can protect people who unionize.

            If all the employees are in a union, you can’t get rid of all the unions without getting rid of all the employees.
