Just a heads up, the NLRB has taken an aggressive stance against companies that refuse to allow their employees to unionize.

I agree that when the penalty is a fine, it’s just the cost of doing business, but it appears that the NLRB are attempting to go another route.

I was a bit surprised about that.

An Introduction To Class Warfare For The Software Engineer ( medium.com )

If you work at one of the large tech companies that, in the last few weeks [or months], have laid off thousands of employees, you may be wondering what the hell is going on.
