That is the whole point of unions, yes.
Union membership/power has been steadily decreasing over the past 50 years. To me, it seems disingenuous to refer to "big labor" as if they're some sort of powerhouse given the way that corporate interests have been chipping away at them.
Also, not that I have any proof that they are, but firing employees for being pro-union is illegal.
