Look! An astroturf anti Employee Free Choice Act PR group

View Comments

I just happened to be watching MSNBC and Olberman’s show when during the break this ad for the so called “Coalition for a Democratic Workplace” came on. If this isn’t a PR corporatist astroturf effort then I don’t know what is. They’re afraid of the Employee Free Choice Act because it gives workers more power to organize. It’s easier for them to thwart an NLRB election. A quick look at who the domain name for this organization is registered with and one sees that it’s registered with a firm on K Street. It appears that the PR firm the Adfero Group is doing the strategy. Just look at their client list and you’ll see what we’re up against here. If there’s one thing I really disdain it’s these slimy PR firms like Edelman and Adfero who are paid to carry the water for bigger fish.
