Don't vote for it and encourage others to not vote for it based on your reasoning.

Make sure you explain to your co workers that a union will not necessarily make anything better. One hospital in my area went union cause they were promised lots more help and better wages, but when the union was voted in, the pay that was negotiated didn't allow them to attract any new hires, and they are more understaffed that ever. The hospital no longer has the flexibility to pay people competitively with other local hospitals, so potential hires go elsewhere to work. But...the employees still have to pay the union dues!

In Britain, workers have a legal right to belong to a union if they so wish.
To deny union representation in a workplace may be construed as meaning that you have unfair working practices, or bad health and safety standards.
If you're not doing anything wrong, what are you afraid of?

lots of places have established rules against solicitation, for that specific reason. they make it against the rules to distribute literature on anything, thus making it harder for Union people to spread their lies.
also, you can have meetings with your employees to deal with issues. say one day you buy them all lunch, and everyone sits down and airs out their grievances, and you promise to work it out if they don't vote in a union.
I used to work at this one place, and during orientation, they made us watch a video on the evils of unionized work.
like the story the other gal told, most of the time the union does more harm than good. I have heard some awfully depressing stories about unionized workplaces. I would never work in a place that had one.

Make sure you pay them well enough and take care of them well enough so that they won't want a union. That's what Hunda and Toyota have done in their American factories. In fact they pay the employees more and compensate them better, which saves them money in the long run.

if you like your job and pay then tell your co workers . in the end it will be you who pays for the union. failing which c4 the people who want the union. frankly a boss who is a nice man would like to help his employees ... but when a union comes in he will be not nice

Say no and make sure your co workers realize that if you already have it pretty good a union will not make it better, But they will take your money.

Now Miss Pelosi, if your employee's insist on forming a union why don't you just let them? Other wealthy employer's, much like yourself, have done it, so why haven't you?

Why would you want to stop a Union from coming to your workplace? They will keep your company from taking advantage of you.

you need to understand the laws of your state. in some states you may be required to allow a representative in. in others, it might be trespassing.
