It is very rare for unions to encourage or know of any activities like this
by individual members. Unfortunately, people who already have strong anti-union
sentiments use incidents like this to cast shadows on unions and union activity
in general.  Management has done these type of things far more often than
unions, just to try to make unions look bad, which helps management to break
unions and further exploit workers.
