Bolsheviks Are you suggesting that i shouldn t forcefully challenge the proposed introduction of the topic of Bolsheviks into this article That s roughly equivalent to the old red baiting practice of calling union organizers commies But that s just one of the obvious examples and therefore easy to challenge An example of the more subtle bias that has crept in the article has been edited to claim Union Busting is a term used by labor organizations and trade unions to describe the activities that may be undertaken by employers their proxies workers and in certain instances states and governments usually triggered by events such as picketing card check organizing and strike actions In other words the workers begin to organize or the union takes some sort of concrete action and there is a response Well the reader may conclude if the union advocates would just go away everything would be peachy keen But that doesn t hint at the reality faced by some of my friends and family who have worked at Wal Mart where even a vague rumor brings a special visit together with their indoctrination program the suits from their corporate union busting division And they eavesdrop on phone and email conversations of their employees to pick out any such rumor They ve even used high tech bugs and infiltrators to police their employees for any suggestion of concerted activity Or how about my nephew who worked as a chef for a major hotel chain when a new corporate conglomerate bought out the chain they issued an edict which they claimed was for the privacy of associates Anyone employed at the hotel chain was no longer allowed to use the last name of any other employee under any circumstances except when required for official business My nephew who has never been a union activist says it was an obvious new rule aimed at making it more difficult for employees to communicate with each other outside of their place of employment He described it as pre emptive union busting Not in any sense a reaction to events such as picketing card check organizing and strike actions In brief this article used to be pretty well focused on the issue of union busting But in some places it has been edited to create a false impression about the reality of union busting I won t say the editors are biased but the edits sure the heck are Others may draw their own conclusions
