I'm sorry slazer2au but our employment AI noticed you slacking off today, we're going to need to terminate your employment at this time.

For real, at least in a lot of the southern US, companies look out for anyone that discusses unionization and will find a reason to fire them. At-will employment is a curse. My favorite busting technique is the tried and true "Who needs a union? We're a family here." Followed by a pizza party instead of a real bonus.
