In 2022, a group of SpaceX employees wrote an open letter asking the co to distance itself from Elon Musk's online behavior. They were fired and the NLRB opened an investigation.

Then Musk funded Trump's election win. Now, the Trump NLRB has dismissed the case.

Secret identities. Constant surveillance. Blatant disinformation. The union-busting industry is out of control and operating in the dark. Workers deserve better than psychological warfare for wanting a seat at the table.

Why does transparency matter in workplace organizing?

Because union busting consultants often don’t tell workers who they really are or what they’re getting paid to do: convince you to vote no.

LaborLab is helping workers access transparency and expose union busting across America.

Starbucks baristas have been on strike for 3 months fighting for a contract and an end to union-busting.

The ask is simple: Delete the Starbucks app — NOW — and send a message that there's no "business as usual" without a fair contract.
