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.

If activities such as those at Cintas happened, those responsible should be prosecuted under current laws.
If my manager wants to present the company view of the union, that's not intimidation. The group that was trying to unionize where I worked tried to claim that was intimidation. Their view was that the union should just be able to walk into the company and organize the employees without opposition from the company.
I don't see why the unions need extra help in organizing. In a secret ballot, nobody is going to know how I vote unless I choose to tell them.
