The Well-Funded Anti-Union Arsenal

Over the past 20 years, corporate conservatives and economic libertarians
have spent more that $170 million trying to convince us that labor unions
are bad for America, and that government laws and regulations should not
protect a worker's right to organize a union without harassment and termination.

The coalition of foundations that fund conservative and right-wing think tanks
and other institutions that attack organized labor give money to an array of
allied and interconnected think tanks that numerous reports and issue an endless
stream of press releases. This creates the impression that there is a groundswell of support
for reigning in labor unions and government "interference" in corporate affairs.

These foundations often give long-term grants that provide stability and ensure the
survival of conservative and right-wing think tanks.
