Its not just a long-rumored threat, its a promise put in writing.
The employment agreement for managers at Menards, the home-improvement giant, imposes a substantial cut in pay should the workers under their supervision form a union.
A section of the employment agreement titled Union Activity sets forth: The Managers income shall be automatically reduced by sixty percent (60%) of what it would have been if a union of any type is recognized within your particular operation during the term of this Agreement. If a union wins an election during this time, your income will automatically be reduced by sixty percent (60%).

but if you know what's good for you you'll keep the unions out at all costs."
Gives upper mgmnt all the power to point the finger at the local managers and avoid any legal involvement.
