Union Busting
A derogatory term for the attempt to reduce the power of a labor union, or an organization designed to protect worker interests.

Union busting may involve espionage, hiring of scabs (or workers who agree not to abide by a union agreement), lockouts, or even violence. See also: Anti-unionism.
