Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but your comment reads like you were operating in a much nicer career than these workers. If your job was good enough they gave you the opportunity to negotiate your pay, you're in a totally different social class than the subjects of this vote.

It was manual labor. I’m not sure it was nicer than these workers but I was able to negotiate my pay by “working harder” and producing more than other workers.
I wouldn’t say it was a good job and I certainly don’t do it any more. But I just tried to explain my thinking.

Maybe so, but this was indeed just their experience on voting not to unionize in their job. Maybe some of the workers in this particular case will share why they voted 'no'.

I negotiated individual raises at first hourly job when I was in high school with a major national retailer...
I was one of the few High School employees they had that was reliable and always did what I was asked, this enabled me to get not only higher wages but ever increasing job titles
