Why haven't fast food workers unionized and what tactics have management used to defeat union efforts?
Fast Food Workers haven't unionized is because of the past history on some workers haven't been able to formally make a union because of legal actions taken immediately, & they just dont bother trying anymore. One of the reasons why fast food corporations don't want their workers to Unionize is because in other industries, labor unions have gained workers higher wages, formal grievance procedures, and a voice in how the work is performed. Tactics management has used to defeat union efforts are things like forcing them to take lie detector tests, interrogated them about union activities, and threatened them with dismissal if they refused to answer. They also sent a "flying squad" of experienced managers and corporate executives the moment union activity was suspected.
