...being able to pay workers. So far, there's little, if any, evidence of that. Automatic Data Processing, which handles paychecks for 400,000 small businesses, dips into its clients' bank accounts to pay their employees.

Many producers say they will resist what they see as bullying by unionized workers and have vowed to hold out indefinitely.
