BS dude. You could never be fired for supporting a union drive. Not at SKW or anywhere else, that's federal law and doesn't require a lawsuit to get it done.
The alpa supporters have been displaying alpa stuff for years.
As a new-hire anywhere, it probably behooves you not to openly support or oppose any contentious issue (union, management, religion, age 65, gay marriage, etc). It's not the company you have to worry about, but some rogue instructor... there is a fair amount of subjectivity in sim training and IOE, and you never know if your instructor has a real bug up his butt about some issue.
