Just deleted a long post about Michael Berube, Academic union busting, and, as a side note, Berube's back and forth with Edward S. Herman on ZNet. In retrospect, it's probably a good thing this post was deleted.
Whatever my disagreements with both Herman and Berube, I do like Berube's blog and highly recommend the Social Text article. (Pieces by Kathy M. Newman and Corey Robin and Michelle Stephens which appeared in the same volume are also fantastic, as is Cynthia Young's 1996 minnesota review article "On Strike at Yale" and Corey Robin's "Blacklisted and Blue," in Steal This University, which i'm pretty sure i've mentioned before.
