[lbo-talk] Query for trade unionists, labor activists, labor journalists and labor historians

[Gar Lipow]

I'm trying to gather examples of labor battles where management spends more
to fight the union than it would cost to settle - though of course breaking
or weakening a union has long term benefits.  For example Group Health
spent more on scabs to cover a 3 day nurses walkout some years ago than it
would have cost to meet 100% of nurses demands. I'm looing for examples I
can cite. So if your examples are from memory you need to tell me it is OK
to quote your email and cite you as a source.  If you have documents you
can share or links that is even better.

Although this is for long term use, I happen to be writing an EU centric
piece at the moment, so EU and especially UK examples would meet an
immediate need. Though examples from all nations, especially from the USA
will help a lot in the long term.

Thanks

Gar
