No idea what the history is there. I imagine the NFL Referees unionized a very long time ago. With the players having unionized, I imagine there was not much option to try to strong-arm the refs to prevent them from also unionizing.

I know Toyota, and perhaps Honda, tended to keep their plants out of the "rust-belt" states, and that may be in part in an effort to help them convince their workers not to unionize. The point is that Toyota and Honda may have convinced their workers not to unionize, but if they wanted to they couldn't have stopped them. The NFL refs apparently wanted to and did.
