Fast Food Nation: Ch 3 Question

I think the fast food employees haven't unionized because most of the employees that attempt to unionize are usually dealt with high-priced attorneys or a lie detector test. Usually employees think they are getting short end with getting paid so this try to find a union. Soon after McDonald's higher-ups come and find them, and put them threw one on the following: Complete closure of a McDonald's location with out further investigation, Attorneys wound come do "Rap" sessions to let the employees know should open up to the manager (which has been replaced by a more experienced person, who's tells McDonald's everything), and lastly the lie detector tests which have lucky stopped. The Tactics they use, at first a calm approach after that doesn't work a full on attack from a closure and lie detector tests.
