[|Pinkerton Agency] - Hired by companies to scare Unions into not protesting. Was a group of Ex- militaries who could act as spies in unions and take them down from the inside.=====

Democrats and Liberals - for Unions and pro-union legislation NEA - Provided support to democrats and is one of the largest unions in the country In the early years, Miners - were the first group to organize a union Many of these were Union workers or those who wanted to form unions which itself was an act against the Anti-Union movement. Democrats fought for workers rights by passing legislation in their favor.
 * Against:**

**Connections:**
They wanted workers to be treated better while anti-unionists were oposed.
 * Related to Workers/Labor rights** - Fought for opposite what the Anti-Union wanted by forming Unions to pressure employers into providing better pay and working conditions.


 * African American Civil Rights** - Fought for the equal treatment of Blacks both in the workplace and in the community. One way to accomplish this was to form unions.


 * Consumer Rights** - Wanted big businesses to have to protect their consumers and employees with labeling and safer working environments. This went against big business beliefs.

**Currently:** In 2006 the Center for Union Facts released advertising that tried to persuade people to become non-union. They used adds in major newspapers and commercials on Fox Channel to show the downsides of being in a labor Union. They also blocked the "Employee free choice act" in 2009. This act would have encouraged many more Americans to join labor Unions. Also the NBA and NFL have both had lockouts due to their Union members wanting a raise. This is a backwards step to anti-unionism.

I see in the next 20 years that Unions will become a little more popular due to the economic recession but the Anti-Unionists will do a good job keeping them to a minimum.
