The Borg can’t assimilate me. [There’s a lot of overlap between EBDs and Star Trek.]

Assuming a supposedly competent adult with free will, choosing to cave in to peer pressure (or not) is an individual decision where the person is exercising their will in a world where there are consequences from, and limitations around, the decision-making and the decision.

So these unionized employees will get a vote to determine how they want their union membership to be structured going forward? And then they have a personal choice to agree or not to join the majority following the election? Sounds like a liberal democracy in action.
