The main issue is enforcement and defining union busting. If I declare tomorrow, an attempt to unionize at my work and no one joins me, and the boss fires me, what then? Who has my back? It's my word against the company, and I doubt the NLRB has the resources or teeth to help me a single employee of a middle sized company.

The definitions are pretty standard, this is a return to the NLRB policies that defined union growth from 1948 to 1970. Basically, union busting is defined as an unfair labor practice. The automatic recognition stuff only occurs after a union files a petition for recognition, which can only occur once there is at least 30% of the workforce that has signed union authorization cards
