If the company wants to keep the union out, and can do so legally, fine by me. If the employees want a union vote, let them have a secret ballot, which right they have today.

The "greener pasture" reference was in response to Seaver's odd suggestion.
The process to implement a secret ballot union vote takes months....ff you are unable to acknowledge that employer intimidation is often (before and) widespread during that time, I can see why you think the current process works just fine.

But ask the employees at Cintas, the country's largest manufacturer of business uniforms.
Just because a company can hire a union "avoidance" consultant like Jackson Hewitt, The Burke Group (TBG), Labor Relations Institute (LRI), etc. to unleash a propaganda campaign and legally create an environment of intimidation..doesnt make it right.
