This is another part that doesn’t add up. Dues are only deducted after a collective agreement is ratified. Unless they managed to get one done in 2 months time, which for a first agreement seems unlikely.
Based on what is stated in the article I’m not sure it will get very far in the courts. But as with anything there are likely more details we’re not aware of. These employees have every right to decertify, so I’m a little puzzled as to why they aren’t doing so if the majority of them do not want to be in a union.
I can see your point, although there are provisions to prevent this from occurring, but I’m sure you’re aware the elimination of a vote eliminates the ability for the employer to intimidate their employees leading up to the vote.

And by intimidate you mean present the same kind of "factual" (biased with their view of truth) information that the Union is also able to present during that time. And management can also intimidate during the card signing drive.
The big difference is you go into a booth and make a decision that no one will know about or hold you accountable for and you can lie about which way you voted afterwards as opposed as being forced to have an ackward conversation with your friend about why you want or don't want the Union.
Does decertifying require a secret vote and what % is required to decertify?
