Slate.com Cites Bloomberg BNA Union Labor Data


Slate.com has cited Bloomberg BNA union labor statistics in a story on the NFL lockout of its professional referrees, which started in June and has persisted into the regular season. Tommy Craggs writes: "The most distressing thing about it is that we've evidently reached a point where a lockout is considered a naturally occurring phenomenon—a regrettable but unavoidable consequence of doing business, rather than an act of employer militancy." And, "According to a study by Bloomberg BNA, "employers were much more likely to lock out workers in 2011 than in any other year since we started keeping track of work stoppages two decades ago."
