Workers Face Challenges When Unionizing

Without legal protections such as the Employee Free Choice Act, workers when trying to organize unions are subject to routine intimidation, harassment, coercion and firings. Workers are fired in a quarter of private-sector union organizing campaigns; in such campaigns, 78 percent of private employers require supervisors to deliver anti-union messages to their employees; and even after workers successfully form a union, they can't get a contract one-third of the time.
