The Evolution of Union Busting: Breaking Unions With The Language of Diversity & Social Justice
“…Businesses facing worker uprisings are attempting to co-opt the language of social justice movements and embrace trends around self-growth and positive lifestyles to counter demands for unionization.”
“…Finally, Dollar General is perhaps one of the most glaring retailers facing criticism for its labor practices. The company, in its latest annual disclosure, reported that its median annual salary for workers was $17,773. Workers have cited broken air conditioners, mold in the break rooms, and little safety precautions for employees who face constant robberies and violent incidents within stores. The widespread problems have led to a worker revolt, including store clerks posting TikTok videos of unsanitary work environments and grossly understaffed stores, and some moving toward demands for a labor union to negotiate better conditions.
Dollar General has responded with an aggressive anti-union effort that is overseen by Kathy Reardon, the company’s chief people officer. In public, Reardon is touted for leading the discount retailer’s “ongoing diversity and inclusion journey” and for creating an “allyship guide that helps employees play an active role in creating a more inclusive environment.”
Records show that Reardon is involved in the hiring of $2,700-per day consultants who have helped the firm defeat a push for a labor union at its Connecticut locations.”
