Try to organize, and zip, you are fired for something else. This includes getting caught associating with them or doing stuff for the unions off the clock.

I remember the plight of the Wal-Mart meatcutters at one store. IIRC it was somewhere in the Midwest.
One store's butchering department decided to join the Food & Commercial Workers of America. They got their election certified. By the end of the week, Wal-Mart had discovered Case Ready Meat (it comes from the packing plant in trays ready to go on the shelves), cancelled contracts with any meat packer who wouldn't supply Wal-Mart with case-ready meat, and fired every meatcutter in every Wal-Mart in America.
I have no doubt that if Wal-Mart's tire changers decided to unionize in one store, Wal-Mart would go out of the tire business.
