Employers could have ultimately been blackballed from government contracts unless they cleared the path for union organizers to recruit new forced dues-paying union members.  Moreover, union organizers would have insisted that the state law entitles them to sweeping access to company facilities, employees\u2019 private personal information, and the power to sidestep the less-abusive secret ballot election process for determining whether employees actually want a union.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalifornia officials were wrong to use the heavy hand of government to trample upon workers\u2019 rights.
