Work Sucks

Apropos of the French labour bill, it's worth saying that being a worker in North America sucks pretty hard. Some stats about how capital responds to efforts to unionize:

* 30% of employers fire pro-union workers.
* 49% of employers threaten to close a worksite when workers try to form a union, but only 2% actually do.
* 51% of employers coerce workers into opposing unions with bribery or favoritism.
* 82% of employers hire high-priced unionbusting consultants to fight union organizing drives.
* 91% of employers force employees to attend one-on-one anti-union meetings with their supervisors.

Business doesn't need any more favours.
