- Salting is also a labor union tactic used to organize a union at a non-union business. Union members or union activists hire on at a non-union business and assess workplace satisfaction and interest in organizing a union. Once the "salted" union employees determine that worker interest in organizing is sufficient, a meeting will be called with the purpose of forming an Organizing Committee. A card drive will then commence, and once a majority of workers sign cards, the National Labor Relations Board will be contacted and a date for an election set.
- Salting is also the colloquial name for a kind of land scam where minerals or other resources were scattered on a piece of property so they would be “discovered” by a prospective buyer. For a time, these scams were popular and difficult to prosecute because they played on the greed of the victim.
- Salting the earth is the military practice of spreading salt on fields to make them incapable of being used for crop-growing.
- Salting is an area in the sea or close to the sea where sea-water is naturally evaporated to produce salt as a product.
