No, salts give the union a voice inside the workforce. Employers can keep union organizers off of the premises, thus restricting access to the workers. A salt overcomes this restriction, because he can talk to employees during lunch periods, before and after work and advise of union meetings and the benefits of union membership. His superior skills are also likely to give him some credibility in his advocacy of the union. So long as he does not interfere with the work of the other employees, his advocacy of the union is protected by the National Labor Relations Act.
