In the US, potential tax code changes would prevent employers from including anti-union expenses in their tax deductions
Recently, there has been a push for legislation to stop companies from benefitting from tax breaks as a result of "union busting" activities. Many employers spend money on "union avoidance" consultants, and the current laws allow companies to deduct anti-union consultant and advertising costs as necessary business expenses. However, a new bill has been proposed that would require these expenses to be reported to the IRS and make them non-tax deductible. Some experts say that this legislation is too broad though and will be challenging to implement.
