I believe the Vox piece shared in this thread [2] is enough for anyone to hit submit on an NLRB web form and get the ball rolling. Snapshot in the Wayback Machine (all the in scope tweets archived in archive.today|is|ph), just in case.

I understand your sentiment, but I think a lot of idealistic people will disagree - it's nice to think that a person should stand up for justice, no matter what.
In reality, I wonder how many people attempt to do this and end up regretting, because of what you mentioned.
I'd only be worried about reporting if you fear for your life for refusing, a sadly poignant consideration given Boeing as of late.
Especially in CA where companies will make you THINK they have power which they don’t.
Talking to good, honest lawyers is a good idea. Unfortunately most people don't have access to good honest lawyers, or don't know how to distinguish them from crooks with law degrees.
