26. Examples please. Links to actual intimidation stories from legit sources
Personal experience is colored by feelings of being "wronged" by whoever crossed you. Hypotheticals and innuendos about mob ties and Hoffa history are tools of big business.

Prove intimidation by peers. Not peer pressure, because that works both ways. "If you vote a union in, then you'll lose your bonus!" That was an actual argument made last year when an org in AT&T was going through the card check. Card check won, the subsequent vote, or what you stupidly call "secret ballot" lost by one. Loss of bonus waas cited as the main reason for most voting no. They didn't get a bonus this year anyway, even though the company took in $13M in profit last year.

The bill does not eliminate the ballot option. Learn to read!:eyes:
