The Role of Persuader Consultants and Lack of Transparency
Persuader consultants are hired to thwart unionization efforts. They often use tactics like disseminating misleading information about unions, holding mandatory captive audience meetings, and surveilling employees.
The U.S. Department of Labor mandates these disclosures so workers are aware when outside parties are involved in their workplace’s labor discussions. LaborLab’s mission is to help workers build power by ensuring this transparency and educating them about their organizing rights.
