June is Voice at Work Month

The AFL-CIO has declared June Voice@Work Month, a time to highlight the illegal assaults on workers rights in the US
...As the site explains, businesses are chronic lawbreakers during organizing campaigns, illegally firing workers in a third of elections, while subjecting workers in almost every workplace to closed-door meetings and union busting threats.
..It's also worth checking out the 2000 Human Rights Watch report about US violations of international labor standards.
