With the employer on your side and a straight yes or no choice, you knew you'd lose? Really, a couple of weeks of CNA "unionbusting" did this? That's just not believable. Either what CNA had to say was so right and so damaging that support for SEIU vanished overnight, or the support was never there to begin with. I don't see a third option.
