SALTING

Whether it is keeping contractors informed of new OSHA regulations or blocking anti-competitive legislation at the state and federal level, ABC is one of the most influential business groups in the United States.

Your Business is a Target
Salting is a weapon that organized labor uses to put your company out of business. The practice of "salting" is one of the most effective pressure tactics by unions against open shop contractors.

Facts about Salting

• The union's goal is for salts to disrupt your company's operations to be fired—and then file a charge.
• Unions file these frivolous charges with the National Labor Relations Board because the technique works.
• Salts not hired will file a charge with the NLRB against you for any number of reasons.
• It costs a union salt nothing to file an NLRB charge. It can cost you your business.
