Not quite

Reading the text, basically it says that if 30% of affected folks vote it so, then all 100% are represented by an exclusive union.

Not quite--if 30% join the union, then there will be a vote on whether to make it exclusive. Presumably, that means over 50% have to vote yes.

However, there are two more stings in the tail:

  • The child care workers are not allowed to strike.
  • The union is allowed to collect fees.

A union that can't strike is essentially worthless. This is clearly an effort for some established union to pick up a new revenue stream. I'm voting no.
