Labor Relations Radio, E122: Congressman Burgess Owens Discusses Union Transparency & the 'SALT Act‪'‬ LaborUnionNews.com's Labor Relations Radio

On this episode of Labor Relations Radio, Congressman Burgess Owens (R-UT) discusses his recently-introduced bill, the Start Applying Labor Transparency (SALT) Act, legislation aimed at exposing “salting,” a common union organizing tactic where individuals are paid by labor unions to infiltrate companies to unionize employers from within.
Although this nefarious tactic—which relies on deceiving employers and, more importantly, employees—has been around for a long time, in recent years, union “salting” has become more prevalent at companies like Starbucks, Amazon and numerous other companies.
In addition to the SALT Act, Rep. Owens discusses the foundation he began before entering Congress, the Second Chance 4 Youth.
Second Chance 4 Youth is a Utah-based non-profit program with the aim to end the cycle of generational incarceration and lower the rates of recidivism. Learn more here.
