USA: Union-busting in Minnesota Attorney General's Office E action

Minnesota's top lawyer is breaking the law by denying her employees their human right to form a union. In the face of fear, attorneys in the Minnesota Attorney General's Office want to join AFSCME, the largest public employee union in the United States. Last week they courageously wrote a letter asking their boss for recognition of their union. On Wednesday, Attorney General Lori Swanson held captive audience meetings to coerce her employees into opposing the union. She summoned small groups of the attorneys to a conference room. With two supervisors and two judges watching, the workers were asked to mark an anti-union ballot saying that the letter requesting union rights didn't speak for them. Let's end the fear and intimidation, so the office can get back to protecting consumers.
