Just three hours before a union representation election was to start, the company president wandered through the plant and handed each employee a fake "pink slip" (termination notice) that said simply, "A yes vote = A pink slip." The union later lost the election and employees admitted they were scared they would lose their jobs if they voted yes. In such a situation, the NLRB could declare the election invalid and hold a new election.

Question

The act of giving employees fake termination notices as a means of intimidating them into voting against union representation is a violation of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act. The NLRB has the authority to declare the election invalid and order a new election in such a situation.
