Honestly does there exist a company that would acknowledge a union without a vote? I've seen instructions in emergency handbooks for someone presenting union cards that say do not acknowledge them. This law has no impact because for profit companies have no conscious.

Yes, of course there do.

Some smaller companies are run by people still in touch with humanity.

Some bigger companies might see the writing on the wall and pre-empt the vote as a tactic to gain public goodwill.

Yes, anywhere other than the US. The whole union voting thing is insane.
