4. those numbers are a minimum
Edited on Thu Mar-01-07 04:48 PM by ngant17
note that this does not mean that 30 thousand workers were fired for attempting to organize for a union in the workplace, that number would be much higher. The 30 thousand is only the amount of discharged workers who were fired for union-organizing, and then decided to pursue the issue legally and won their case and got backpay, or it was otherwise settled out of court.

In Aug. 2006, I was terminated for organizing for a union ("disclosure of company info to non-company personnel"), but I choose not to fight it legally thru a wrongful termination law-suit, I simply didn't want to work in this company after that experience, I decided to move on with my life.
