(2) The tactic of using professional union orga-
nizers and agents to infiltrate a targeted employer’s 
workplace, a practice commonly referred to as ‘‘salt-
ing’’ has evolved into an aggressive form of harass-
ment not contemplated when the National Labor Re-
lations Act was enacted and threatens the balance of 
rights which is fundamental to collective bargaining. 
(3) Increasingly, union organizers are seeking 
employment with nonunion employers not because of 
a desire to work for such employers but primarily to 
organize the employees of such employers or to in-
flict economic harm specifically designed to put non-
union competitors out of business, or to do both. 
(4) While no employer may discriminate against 
employees based upon the views of employees con-
cerning collective bargaining, an employer should 
have the right to expect job applicants to be pri-
marily interested in utilizing the skills of the appli-
cants to further the goals of the business of the em-
ployer. 
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this Act are— 
(1) to preserve the balance of rights between 
employers, employees, and labor organizations which 
is fundamental to collective bargaining;
