Interesting point, but I think it's meant to be as it's written in plain language. Work-related to a "reasonable" person would mean anything that is directly needed for workers ability to perform the job. Since the company was working without a union, it's self-evident that conversations about unions are not needed for workers to perform their job.
The same goes for fights with children or spouses, having trouble paying bills, religious and political beliefs, losses by favorite sports teams, current fashion, current music, golf, etc. Each might affect a worker, perhaps extensively, but are not work-related. The same goes for a union that doesn't yet exist at that site.
The law I think means, if people are banned from raising their personal issues and beliefs at the workplace, then all conversations regarding non-work related subjects can be banned, therefore, conversations and information about unions (that don't exist at that site), can be banned.
Is that realistic? Sure. I've worked a number of jobs where there was no time or opportunity to have personal conversations. I've worked others where we were warned about numerous topics that should be avoided at work, e.g., politics and religion. Is it common? Perhaps not. But the law makes it clear, imo, that there is no legal right to discuss unions at work unless the employer has granted that right, implicitly (by not attempting to suppress non work-related speech inaction) or explicitly.

That's you, worried about everywhere but here. I can't believe the stupidity of the left, abolish ICE, ... Someone said it nicely, they're the intersection of ignorant and arrogance.
Russia and Ukraine have some funny vids. We were at plant in Russia. They shut our job down for safety reasons. They didn't label ammonia tanks, no support steel under walk ways just expanded metal, vodka bottles hid everywhere, & our interpreter was a part time escort that wore a mini skirt high heels with a hard hat
