Kate Bronfenbrenner of Cornell's Labor Education Research in a new report, No Holds Barred: The Intensification of Employer Opposition to Organizing, details the hurdles that workers face in trying to form unions and why EFCA would help. Bronfenbrenner, Mark Winston Griffith, Director of the Drum Major Institute, Pat Purcell, Director of Special Projects at the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 1500, and Bob Master, Political Director of Communications Workers of America on whether the recession will strengthen unions.
