Of course, but this is what happens in every election.  There's an election going on right now.  I'm getting hit with texts and mailers because the public records indicate I have a mail in ballot that hasn't been turned in yet.  Why is that a problem for a union election when it's not a problem for any other kind of election?

One is in the public domain, one is not.
One has a very small and definable voter base, the other does not.

It is not the business of the unions or Starbucks if, or how, an employee casts their vote. Telling the union how many, and possibly who, has not voted reeks of intimidation. But we know union organizers would never stoop to such tactics. 

And for all we know, it may be illegal.
