I don't know how many are aware of the contract employees have to sign at HD to work there. You have to sign that you will not organize or be a party to union activities. The consequence is immediate dismissal and you also agree not to sue for such.

It's an old tactic, that used to be called a "Yellow Dog" contract. At one point, I believe it was found to be illegal. But the way labor law enforcement has been weakened in this country over the last few decades, they've probably found a way around it.
