The OP is incredulous that anybody could not want to be in a union.
My point is that some people legitimately do not want to be in a union, and there's nothing unfathomable about this, because they have many downsides. For example where I'm from if you were a Jewish supporter of the Green Party you may find it extremely offensive to have your union representatives promoting the Labour Party.
So you may get a legitimate, democratic, decision to not let the union represent them.
That's the point. Forget about tying it to this particular situation if you want to.
1. OP says: unions are good they bring democracy into things.
2. You say: They had a democratic vote
3. I say: The article is alleging that they didn't have a democratic vote.
Your comment is clearly stating that the vote was democratic, the unions lost, so we should move on. The entire article that this conversation is about is saying that the vote wasn't democratic and was coerced. My response stands, you can't just say "democratic vote, lets move on", because if the allegations are true then there wasn't a democratic vote.
