The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is reportedly planning to incorporate a provision into its contracts blocking consulting firms with which it deals from helping employers quell labor organizing.

The news surfaces a few weeks after outlets exposed that Global Strategy Group (GSG), a leading consulting firm aligned with the Democratic Party, had been hired by Amazon to orchestrate the company’s wildly expensive — and ultimately unsuccessful — campaign to suppress organizing activity at its Staten Island facility.

The contemplated provision would require that firms dealing with the Democratic Party certify that they will not help any client “persuade employees or workers to not form or join a union” or lobby for any measure “opposed by the labor movement.”

A tentative agreement was announced on Tuesday between the union representing thousand of residential building doormen in New York City and the real estate firms that employ them. If ratified, the contract will preclude a strike that was slated to begin this week.  It would provide significant wage increases and bonuses to the tens of thousands of doormen who effectively serve as private security and personal assistants for the affluent residents of luxurious apartment complexes across the city.

Lastly, in organizing news, the efforts to organize Apple, Inc., the most valuable company in the world, are accelerating in New York City, as employees at four of the company’s stores in the Big Apple — including its flagship location in Grand Central Terminal — have launched union drives.
