Alright as someone who has seen this happen… Don’t. Fist off, if the employee doesn’t already know what the benefits of a union are and how to go about organizing one, this does nothing to change that. Second, it puts them in a dangerous position with management. Obviously, any good Union drive should be fully prepared for union busting tactics, but ideally you want to keep that shit secret from management for as long as possible. And imagine how frustrated you’d be if a customer pulling a stunt like this got you fired.
Instead what you want to do is talk to your family, friends, and coworkers about what a union can do for them and talk about how to effectively organize a union drive. Make sure that shit is led by the workers, and puts forward strong demands and escalating tactics. They should also absolutely get community support, but in organized, meaningful ways - think things like mailing lists to get the word out about rallies, boycotts, etc.
Unions are hell of a tool and they should be organized in the most effective possible ways.
Yes because getting them fired is such a great idea.
Even ignoring the law, there’s a clear paper trail proving they were forced to say it. It would make more sense to ban the customer.

That’s why they don’t get fired specifically for that, they just get fired.
Maybe so, but proving without any possible doubt that was the cause is the burden of the fired employee, who also likely doesnt have money for a lawyer, let alone court fees to persue the case in the first place.
This difficulty is only amplified in at-will employment areas where your boss can fire you on the spot for no reason at all.
Its as if the system was built from the ground up to benefit businesses over people.
Luckily, unlawful termination doesn’t require proof beyond reasonable doubt.
So if the employee was fired on the spot, that would pretty much guarantee a win in most states unless the boss could show that they had already planned to fire them before they shouted “unionize”.
If the boss fired them a month later, that would be a different story. But yeah, the rest of that is valid.
Coffee for un-ion eyes
Unionized - Are you a chemist or a labor organizer?
yes
Be careful if you like one, they might loose their job! :D
