  If there's going to be a union election (which only happens once enough people say they want to join), employers supply the contact information that they have on file so that both sides have an opportunity to speak to employees. Obviously, employers are in an advantageous position, since they get to force people to attend their meetings, force people to do 1:1's to hear their side, in many cases (not this one) also get to see them and talk to them about it every day. They're also in a position of power over the employee. Info isn't shared until enough people say they want a union. While the legal threshold is much lower, normally that doesn't happen until about 70% say they want a union by signing cards.
