> The ~9,000 people who knew to vote for collective bargaining power should not be punished by the ~11,000 short sighted ones.
Whoa! This is a very dangerous mindset - "if election doesn't go as per my wish, majority must be stupid".

Now, there is another union establishment effort occurring. There is significant evidence that the popular opinion has swayed dramatically in favor of a union. I'm not saying that the majority is stupid, I'm saying that they decided they didn't want to pay union dues and assumed that things would stay the way they are. They didn't understand that the threat of a union was one of the few things eliminating their need for a union. That's ignorance of business realities, not stupidity in general.
My mindset isn't "the majority must be stupid". My mindset is "post-election events have proven the majority to be shortsighted."
