Our economy does not work without good jobs, so we must take action now to restore workers' voices in America. The systematic silencing of American workers by denying our right to form unions is at the heart of the disappearance of good jobs in America. We must pass the Employee Free Choice Act so that workers can have the chance to turn bad jobs into good jobs, and so we can reduce the inequality which is undermining our prospects for stable economic growth. And we must do it now—not next year, not even this summer. Now.

Rivers Casino Union Busting Tactics

by Rivers Casino Union Busting News | 11.11.2009

Throughout this campaign Rivers Casino held daily meetings with 2 or 3 casino security professionals at a time feeding them misleading information half-truths and out right lies about unionization while gauging worker sympathies and FEARS to pressure these casino security professionals not to vote yes for the union. In this case 38 of these Rivers Casino officers fell victim to Jackson and Lewis Union-Busting tactics.

Did Rivers Casino Security Officers vote against unionization or did they Fall Victim to Jackson & Lewis Union-Busting FEAR and Intimidation Tactics?
