They’re not a protected class that you can’t fire, unless the company signs a contract to that effect with the vendor selling them labor (the union)

Is that correct? I thought the NLRA was shaped in such a way that you cannot fire someone because they are in a union. You cannot refuse to hire known union supporters.

I liken to being similar to a protected class that you cannot discriminate against.

Edit: why would this get downvoted? If I am wrong about the NLRA I am happy to be corrected.

you can fire union members you can’t fire people for organizing.

To be clear you can fire union members but not because they are in a union, support a union or organizing to be in a union. Very similar to a protected class.

To be clear you can fire humans but not because they are humans, support humans or organizing to be humans. Very similar to a protected class.
