Default From "Confessions of a Union Buster"

"...counterorganizing drives, battling non-union employees as they struggled to win union representation.
... The supervisors served as my front line. I took them hostage on the first day and sent them to anti-union boot camp. I knew that people who didn't feel threatened wouldn't fight. So through hours of seminars, rallies, and one-on-one encounters, I taught the supervisors to despise and fear the union. I persuaded them that a union-organizing drive was a person attack on them, a referendum on their leadership skills, and an attempt to humiliate them. I was friendly, even jovial at times, but always unforgiving as I compelled each supervisor to feel he was somehow to blame for the union push and consequently obliged to defeat it..."

I sincerely hope this banner bonanza was an attempt to elevate morale among our own troops, and not really a part of the playbook for the organizing drive.
