Those are the most common practices that take place during a period between the time an election is called and when its held.
Again..how is it "asking for extra help" in organizing by offering a CHOICE among the employees for a card check OR a secret ballot based on the expressed wishes of the majority of workers.

As I understand it, the first two cases you mention are illegal and prosecutable.
Private conversations with my manager on their own are not intimidation.
As it was explained to me by the people who wanted to organize a union, the card check campaign might be kept secret from the company. How is that fair?
Also, what's to stop the union organizers who are meeting one on one with employees from intimidating the employees? As it is, union organizers here make up crazy rumors about layoffs, benefits and salary cuts to scare employees into wanting the union.
