Also. employees are often forced to attend mandatory antiunion lectures. while union representatives. under threat of termination. are not allowed to present their views to other workers at their employment site. And the list of abuses goes on and on: Twentyfive percent of employers illegally fire at least one worker for union activity during an organizing campaign. Fiftytwo percent of employers threaten deportation or other forms of retaliation during organizing drives that include undocumented employees. And 51 percent of employers threaten to close their plants if the union wins the election. although only 1 percent actually will. Worksite intimidation and economic threats create a hostile environment and eradicate the ability for a worker to make a fair and free decision.
