"The only way to bust a union is to lie, distort, manipulate, threaten and always, always attack... really the consultants are terrorists. Like political terrorists, the consultants' attacks are intensely personal."

During any organizing campaign your employer will ultimately hire a union-busting consultant to run his campaign to try and defeat the employees legal right to join a union. More often than not these consultants are attorneys and they operate their campaigns of deceit from the sidelines.

Marty Levitt, a former union buster, has described in vivid details the way union busters go about their business in his book Confessions of a Union-Buster. According to Levitt: "Union busting is a field populated by bullies and built on deceit. A campaign against a union is an assault on individuals and a war on the truth. As such, it is a war without honor. The only way to bust a union is to lie, distort, manipulate, threaten, and always, always attack." 

When your boss hires labor relations consultants or attorneys to battle with the union, he gives the consultant run of the company and closes his eyes. The consultant goes to work creating a climate of terror that inevitably is blamed on the union. These consultants go about the business of destroying unions; they invade people's lives, demolish friendships and crush the will of the employees to make a better life for them and their families.
