You're the real deal.

"In March 1980, . . . began a one-person organizing campaign for the Union among Respondent's employees. He distributed union literature, carried a notebook bearing the Union's logo, left the notebook in plain view at his work station, and placed union decals prominently on his automobile. In May 1980, the Union formally notified Respondent that an organizing campaign was underway.

"During his morning break on June 18, 1980, . . . telephoned the Union's president, Powers, from Peterson's office to report on the status of the campaign . . . told Powers, inter alia, that, based on the number of signed authorization cards, . . . the Union would win an election. Peterson, who unbeknown to . . . . had come to the doorway of the office, overheard this conversation. Upon being observed by Dawes, Peterson shook his head vigorously and walked away."
