Many years ago, my dad was a young man working for a very large US corporation. There was a debate in the local school district over whether the school should have a swimming pool. My dad, very conservative, was opposed to it and began publicly organizing people against it. His boss, who was for the pool, got wind of it and told him to knock it off or he'd lose his job. My dad, apparently, caved. I bet that kind of thing has been going on all the time, for decades. My dad is also anti-union--but a union could and would have prevented that scenario. Employers have the ability to pull all kinds of garbage. Employees, though they may complain about it on the Internet, have, in comparison, very little ability to prevent them from doing it--unless they organize.
