Now what is going to happen here is, my colleagues are bringing about a chilling effect on the right of people to organize. They are letting an employer guess intent and then make somebody prove that that employer is wrong. That is wrong.

They cannot do that. And now they want to go one step further and try to chill the traditional American right to associate, to organize. They are wrong.
