Commentary: More workers are trying to unionize. Support will be crucial to their success (via latimesopinion)
, or nothing at all. Current labor law doesn’t impose civil and punitive damages for companies that fire workers for organizing activity and it allows employers to enforce mandatory meetings to spread anti-union messaging. All of this, in addition to the time and costs required to unionize, creates significant barriers to unionization.
Employees need determination to fight for work conditions and confidence that if they fail to unionize, they can get another job, Suresh Naidu, a professor of economics at Columbia University, said. The current environment, with low unemployment and high demand for workers, can be helpful in union organizing. What’s less clear is whether the movement will continue if there is a recession and unemployment rises.
