Tackling the problem of ‘captive audience’ meetings: How states are stepping up to protect workers’ rights and freedoms
Employers are increasingly using the workplace to advance their political (and religious) interests, and the lack of legal protections for workers has created a situation ripe for coercion.
I helped lead an organizing campaign at my nonprofit a few years ago. After 18 exhausting months we had 70% support from staff. Right before the election management forced everyone to attend "information meetings." It only took 3 meetings for staff to get scared, and we lost the election with only 43% support. It's probably the most depressing thing I've ever experienced.
