I can understand how people thought the 4 billion dollar war chest was disingenious but how can any even think that this decertification is legit in any way?
They are no longer a union; they are now considered a professional association.

And with the owners acting in concert to lock out a bunch of contractors with independent contracts the owners are now violating anti-trust statutes; or that is the argument. It has been done before.

This is all part a game they are playing. Between filings and appeals, it may be months before they sit down together again.
