2. This long overdue - an attempt to start unions at 3 ins companies I worked for had the same illegal
response by management - namely finding an informant who for cash would turn in a list of those signing cards or signing interest sheets, and then firing a few very publicly, and firing all over the next 6 months.

The Nixon NLRB , the Reagan, and the Bush NLRB never took action, all either claiming there was not enough evidence, or letting the issue of management malfeasance become moot by the long passage of time for review that allowed management to get rid of all those with evil union ideas.

Indeed the debit insurance agents when they unionized caused management for the next 2 decades and a half to look for ways to get rid of them - despite the high profits their part of the company produced because of their efforts - thus stopping the capital formation process that is life insurance from helping the poor. Now life insurance is all about tax breaks and the corporations and richer folks that can best make use of those tax breaks.
