Union power: 8 companies they want now
A divided labor movement has identified eight large companies it wishes to unionize at some point in the future. The most obvious choice is Wal-Mart, though the company has been vehemently anti-union. FedEx and Verizon have been targeted, in part because some of their competitors are unionized. Labor is looking to Toyota, Honda, or Nissan, all of whom have plants in the U.S. that compete directly with unionized American car makers. Finally, Comcast and IBM are high-tech targets for a labor movement increasingly focused on organizing.
