On March 25, ABC sent a letter to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce in support of H.R. 7784, the Start Applying Labor Transparency Act, introduced by Rep. Burgess Owens, R-Utah. The SALT Act would require labor organizations and their consultants to report when they engage in a coercive tactic known as “salting”— a process where unions send professionally trained organizers into merit shop workplaces under the guise of seeking employment. Once hired, these “salts” often try to create a toxic work environment, mislead co-workers and destroy their employers or deliberately increase costs through various actions, all while concealing that their purpose in the workplace is to serve the interests of organized labor.
