My coworkers and I are planning to form a union at out workplace, but my supervisor said I would get fired. Is this legal?
I work at a company that does not have a union. Last week a union representative contacted me to discuss possibly organizing a union at the company. My employer found out and told me that if I helped bring a union in I would be fired. Can the employer do this?

Employees have a right to freely elect a union. These rights are protected by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The NLRA says employers cannot discourage employees from exploring whether to elect a union and cannot interfere with the election process. If you believe an employer has interfered with your rights to organize, you should contact a labor attorney to be fully advised of your rights.
