He's being harassed by a law firm, not the mob. If someone shows up to do him harm they will be from the government because the law firm will have contrived government process to that end.
Shooting at them while they're on the clock is generally not wise.

Of course they are. It's a good reminder that non-profits are very often just an arm of capital, whatever their legal status is, and that they will exercise capital's authority to try to suppress workers' rights.

It's not that far fetched to assume that someone could be in physical danger after ruffling the feathers of a company that has hired a union busting firm. Union Busters have a long history of employing gun violence against striking workers.

I would agree. The history of union busting is full of examples a violence by the union busters via private contracts and government agencies. There are probably more violent, than non-violent examples.

Paying the worker bees more because they've unionized might potentially take money away from the nonprofit's important mission. Not to mention the salaries of senior staff, who are paid over a million dollars a year. [0]
