Spiderman, you are technically correct about the card check procedure, but let's face it, the employer will always ask for a secret ballot. I've heard of instances when the employer didn't demand a ballot, but they're kind of like Big Foot. Whenever I have heard about it, it was always "some guy knows a guy who has a cousin whose girlfriend overheard someone who had seen it".
I've been through this process three times, and if anything the employers get much friendlier. Economic arguments and paycheck bottom line were used all three times in my case. Once the cards go to the NLRB, only the truly stupid employers will act out in order to gain revenge, because any firings or disciplinary actions during that process are going to be suspect. I don't know how the rest of the country does it, but here in Michigan an employer who attempts to meddle in this process will be heavily fined.
