Summary
Antagonism toward union organizing and activism may be assuming increasingly creative forms, but it is not new. Labor unions have long been synonymous in the public, political and judicial mind with greed, self-interest, corruption, and anarchy. Labor protests – particularly picketing, boycotts, and strikes – have consistently triggered hostile responses from employers, the judiciary, and legislatures. Seen as threatening to the political and economic order, appeals by unions to workers’ class sympathies receive less protection from the First Amendment than appeals by other social movements.
