Seriously, I actually addressed exactly this before . . . the legal ramifications (which I'm not qualified to discuss on here anyway) would be the least of your problems. Any reasonable cost/benefit analysis of the loss of 8 man-hours for a relatively benign cause versus the time and effort that may occur due to any outcry or challenge from an activist organization makes this a no-brainer "look the other way" moment, unless the worker is so shitty that you're looking for a reason. If that's the case, why not just use your right-to-work rights and get the f- out now?

Discretion is the better part of valor (and institutional bigotry).
