How is "union avoidance" even a service that can be offered by companies? The listed examples of their business practices sound downright perverse to me

  It's also downright illegal in many (all?) European countries, as US companies often like to find out. Not the kind of 'mistake' that just gets your company fined either - it's the kind that can land you in prison. Even the US has some forms of protections, which is likely why that is not how that "union avoidance" service is described very differently by the company itself.

    examples of enforcement? never heard of anyone going to jail over this.

    In what concerns Europe, I am aware that there are lawyers that offer such services, they avoid the legal issues by not being explicit what what it actually means in practice and then there is the whole customer/lawyer confidentiality part.

  It sounds like a Comedy Central episode of "Nathan For You"
