LaborLab

This week, LaborLab caught CertainTeed and Emma Penleton Bradley for hiring union-busters. Workers have the right to organize without employer manipulation, coercion, or intimidation. But employers spend millions doing just that. Who’s union-busting in your area? laborlab.us/resource/uni...

Workers have a fundamental right to organize, and thousands of workers are trying to exercise that right. It's unacceptable that the union-busting industry is allowed to thumb its nose at the law and operate with impunity. It has to end so workers can achieve the agency they need and deserve.

Every time an employer hires an outside consultant to persuade employees on how to vote in a union election, federal law requires the union-busting consultant to disclose that arrangement on a Form LM-20. LaborLab tracks every one of these filings. laborlab.us/3800-a-day-a...

BREAKING 🚨 A strong and powerful group of Autozone workers have won the first ever union at the nationwide company!!!

Seven in 10 Americans support unions. So why do so many companies get away with union-busting? Because they operate in the shadows. If we change that, we change the world.

“When workers file for a union election, it’s like a Bat-Signal goes off: a column of light cuts through the night sky, summoning not Bruce Wayne but a swarm of anti-union managers and consultants who reap tens of thousands of dollars from sowing fear and doubt.” labornotes.org/blogs/2026/0...

Last week, LaborLab caught these employers union-busting. More here: laborlab.us/resource/uni...

A supermajority of Americans support unions. So why are tax dollars funding union-busters?

“LaborLab, w/ the help of workers in the store, identified at least 11 corporate executives at AutoZone who have appeared at the White Plains, New York, store whom they say were there to deter workers from organizing, and several regional and district managers.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Unfortunately, this isn't new. Workers are supposed to know who’s being paid to fight their union before they cast a ballot, not months after. LaborLab makes sure these filings see daylight regardless of when the employer gets around to disclosing them.

Employers spend over $1.5 billion each year on union-busting. A new tool from @laborlab.bsky.social helps workers shed light on the highly secretive and highly profitable union-avoidance industry.
