Union organizers typically do not go onto the premises unless management
invites them. Being invited, however, is not that unusual in the
construction trades, especially at the smaller subcontractor shops,
because typically the owner of the shop was and is a union member himself,
and most unions allow the non-union owners and white collar employees of
such operations to participate in the health insurance program.

The guys who visited your site were in error. They should have put flyers
on the windshields of those worker cars on public property, or handed out
flyers while on public property to workers leaving their shifts.

Your "Big Ed" was out of line, too, by the way.




"Big Ed" got a round of applause and a few high 5's from many of the other
shop employees.
A good shop is self-policing. Management usually doesn't need to get
involved.

If successful, those union guys would have wiped out the company, causing
many others to suffer.
