Abstract:

Employees in North Carolina sought to decertify their existing unions by filing twenty petitions in 1983. Unions lost ground last year, but as business was coming out of the recession, unions were recovering also. So long as North Carolina remains the least unionized state, we can expect our industries to be targets for labor organization.
