Berkeley Bowl Hires #1 Union Buster in Country

by upton sinclair (BerkeleyBowlUnion [at] yahoo.com)
just a bit of an update...
As many indymedia folks know by know, Berkeley Bowl has hired an anti-union law firm to "avoid unionization". They are also trying to hire a human relations person with skills in union avoidance.

This is all very interesting considering they tell employees and the public that they respect Berkeley Bowl workers' right to organize, while at the same time shelling out the big bucks for the #1 union busting law firm in the country(AFL-CIO has rated Jackson and Lewis the # 1 union buster).

Berkeley Bowl management is currently attempting to avoid unionization through disinformation, intimidation, and buying off workers with raises they never gave before. One worker has already asked for his card back because his manager, Mike(in the meat dept), said he would give him a raise if he got his card back.
