There’s this interesting tidbit, which weakens the union case of employer intimidation during secret ballot elections:

After a lengthy trial, on November 30, 2007, the NLRB Judge ruled that the Union engaged in physical and verbally threatening conduct against pro-Hospital employees. The Judge also found that a Union representative had improperly offered a bribe to the leader of the decertification effort in exchange for his abandoning that effort. The Judge concluded that such incident “coerced the exercise of freedom of choice in the election” and overturned the Union’s former narrow victory.
