It happens, especially to at-will employees. Once you're seen as a organizer/instigator other reasons can be found to remove you if necessary. Even if that employee is reinstated it takes time and the message has been sent to others that organizing could cost you your job. The point is that forming a union is a bumpy ride, even when the majority of employees see a need. Management will work hard to stop it and employees have to do a lot of work to make it happen. Unions won't organize at places where people are generally happy because the chances of success are low.
