Enter the "persuaders," also known as "union avoidance consultants"—professional firms that offer bosses the specialized service of spreading union disinformation and sowing confusion among the ranks of workers. TRNN Staff Reporter Mel Buer speaks with Dave Jamieson of HuffPost on the shady world of persuaders and what workers attempting to organize can expect if one shows up at their job.
Dave Jamieson has been HuffPost's labor reporter since 2011. Read Jamieson's HuffPost series on the unionbusting industry here
