This Labor Day, it’s not all good news for America’s workers. Freedom House, an independent watchdog organization that supports democratic change, monitors freedom, and advocates for democracy and human rights, recently released a new report about the global state of workers rights. By studying the relationships between each government and its country’s workers, Freedom House was able to grade the countries on a scale of “very repressive” to “free.”

And the results for the United States? Well, Uncle Sam isn’t going to be putting this report on the fridge any time soon.

The United States was rated as “mostly free,” which isn’t bad compared to countries like North Korea and Egypt. But the entire European Union earned top marks. The United States has such a rich history of labor activism. So what the heck happened?

According to the report,

In recent years, unions have been confronted with mounting resistance by employers. Management has used a variety of tactics to forestall unionization, and has shown a willingness to violate labor law if it would result in the defeat of a union campaign to gain bargaining recognition…Another new development in labor management relations has been the permanent replacement of striking workers by nonunion workers.

So it looks like the lack of corporate accountability isn’t just hurting America’s workers—it’s hurting our reputation/global standing as a country that values freedom and democracy in the workplace . Labor laws need to be reformed to protect workers’ rights to join a union and bargain collectively. Because if Big Business and its allies in Congress have their way, our B grade could quickly turn into an F.
