There you go....it was a Greek supper club in the 80's. They smashed plates after the dances on stage, etc. Those who ran it did not like the unions at all! They called a big meeting, if you didn't come you were fired. When you arrived you were told, if you voted for this, your being here illegally would be exposed. A few others who were citizens were scared, of the nasty environment of work if they voted for it. Your name was on the ballot, for the vote.

Again, it failed.
