UFCW and Bashas: Eddie just let them vote

If I shopped at Bashas I would stop... (Sorry I don't have a Bashas nearby). This article from the Republic goes into some of what is going on. Basically, UFCW is trying to organize Bashas, Food City and AJ's and Bashas (the parent company) is being anti-union.

UFCW has decided to use other tactics to try to embarrass Bashas and apply pressure. Unfortunately, this is what union organizing has come to because the National Labor Relations board is a joke. At this point, there is almost no protection for workers wanting to organize. I know it seems simplistic, but why can't the workers at Bashas have an up or down vote on the Union without a lot of interference?

Bashas claims that workers don't want the union, so put your money where your mouth is, let them vote.

Basha's DID let the employees vote, and they voted not to unionize.
