Union avoidance tactics
| Tactics that turn support for unions at the outset of a unionizing campaign into a ‘no’ vote | Legal under current law |
|---|---|
| Forcing employees to attend daily anti-union meetings where pro-union workers have no right to present alternative views and can be fired on the spot if they ask a question. | √ |
| Plastering the workplace with anti-union posters, banners, and looping video ads—and denying pro-union employees access to any of these media. | √ |
| Instructing managers to tell employees that there’s a good chance they will lose their jobs if they vote to unionize. | √ |
| Having supervisors hold multiple one-on-one talks with each of their employees, stressing why it would be bad for them to vote in a union. | √ |
| Having managers tell employees that pro-union workers are “the enemy within.” | √ |
| Telling supervisors to grill subordinates about their views on unionization, effectively destroying the principle of a secret ballot. | √ |
