Won the vote to organize a union, something that has to be done in the U.S.
"Please sir, may I resist?"
I think it's more to do with that if the collective workers vote to become a union or not, and succeeds in that vote, then the owner/company must recognize them as the union and engage in negotiations as such.
If the vote of the workers fails to choose to unionize...well usually that means the people who tried to organize it get fired because there's no union
I don't know of any country where that right was put into place by asking nicely...
I think it’s colonial for “won the right to form a union” perhaps?
And until OP answers, we'll never know. (Given that OP actually knows how unions work)
