‘My name is cleared’: the US workers fighting back against union busting

Organizers say an increased unionizing drive has been met with threats and retaliation - and now the Senate wants answers

Last year, public support for labor unions hit a high unseen since 1965 amid high-profile union campaigns at major corporations including Apple, Amazon, Starbucks, Chipotle, REI and Trader Joe's.

This renewed interest has been accompanied by aggressive opposition from employers: threats, intimidation and what workers allege are retaliatory firings. The backlash seems to be working, but workers and their supporters are fighting back.
