According to a Think Progress article by Zaid Jilani, the city of Winter Park, Florida, is paying a consulting firm, Kulture LLC, $2,500 a day to help the city’s staff dissuade about 150 city workers from joining a union.
Kulture, says Jilani, “a firm specializing in labor relations," runs a weabsite "... replete with right-wing ideology. It hosts op-eds claiming that sweatshops are an opportunity for the 'third world poor' and bragging that the 'labor movement is dead.' Its webpages direct users to far-right sources of information such as the Ayn Rand Institute and The Federalist Society. It also hosts the anti-union laborunionreport.com, which hosts anti-labor articles and a monthly 'anti-union report.' The organization’s CEO, Peter A. List, has said that 'unions are a by-product of a bad relationship.'"
