LaborLab

LaborLab is the union-busting industry’s worst nightmare. We track the money and investigate the "persuaders" to put their tactics on the record -- then we put that intelligence directly into the hands of workers and organizers to even the playing field. View our resources: laborlab.us/resources/

When workers try to organize, they're not just up against their boss. They're up against a multi-million dollar industry of consultants and law firms paid to crush unions — operating in the shadows. We expose them. Follow the fight.

@LorenaSGonzalez @CaliforniaLabor California politicians need to stop being submissive pansies to union bosses

NO candidate for Governor told @CaliforniaLabor they opposed prevailing wages. Not a single one. Along with the 8 hour day, and the right to organize & collectively bargain, it’s a basic tenant of trade unionism.

Federal workers have faced relentless attacks on their jobs and unions by DOGE, and sharing these workers’ stories has been a powerful part of fighting back. Congrats to the @NewsGuild Washington Post journalists on winning a Pulitzer for their reporting! washingtonpost.com/business/2026/…
