UNION BUSTING HAS UNDERMINED ALL WORKERS: Since 1979, the share of income going to the top 1% in the U.S. has grown by more than 300%. This stunning and appalling redistribution of income — economy-wide, and within corporations — is in part the result of massive tax cuts for the rich and the erosion of corporate accountability (aka deregulation). It is also the result of a systematic effort to undermine the bargaining power of U.S. workers. Union busting has enriched capitalists at the expense of workers. — Tim Koechlin, Director of International Studies Program, Vassar College
