Just watching CNN. Robert Reich is saying the secret ballot makes it

not knowing how someone votes can create intimidation, and going to
their homes, with their wives and children home with a ballot and
asking them to check off a box in front of union thugs doesn't ??
How can anybody actually fall for that line of ****??
Read up a little on corporate union busting and get back to me.
I guess next you will want to have members of the DNC accompany all
voters into the voting booth to ensure that they vote properly. Or
that they fill out the ballot in from of DNC election judges.
If a secret ballot is good for electing public officials then it is
good for determining whether the workers want to unionize. It's not
like a criminal trial where a unanimous verdict is needed for a
conviction.

Your problem is that the unions can't convince the workers that they
would be better off being represented by a bunch of corrupt criminals,
therefore, you need to be able to coerce them into voting for the union.
What I find amazing is that unions operate under the assumption that
they should have a monopoly on the labor force but, the big bad company
can't have a monopoly on the jobs.
If you don't want the job the company is offering don't take the job.
I've turned down job offers many times. I've turned down job offers for
higher pay and better benefits. Twice the companies that offered me the
jobs were out of business within a year.
