At the point where the majority of employees have signed it I imagine it's much easier. Might even get a bit weird if you're one of a few holdouts

e: for what it's worth I thought it was a reasonable discussion point, not sure why you got downvoted on that one :(

It was a risky gambit for the first half of the signers. Was it not?

I have no idea what the process was for gathering the signatures, but one way to solve this problem is a mutual confidentiality pact that goes away with enough momentum. Ask people if they're willing to sign, but if you can't get 50% of the people to sign the document and all the signatures go away.

Similar things are done when doing anonymous 360 surveys in the workplace. If not enough people in a certain pool respond, the feedback doesn't get shared.

Oh aye for sure - All unions are risky to start with, that's why you gotta keep them quiet until you have overwhelming support
