Question:

Is the recertification vote by union members, or by all employees.

Here's why I ask?..and maybe I'm missing something

Let's say that before the reforms passed, we had a union of 1,000 teachers. So, 501 would have to vote for recertification. Next year, 400 teachers stop paying dues..drop out of the union..so that 301 are needed to recertify, right? But that's not a majority of the total number of teachers ( 1,000) And what happens when more than 500 teachers drop out of the union? It's then not even a viable collective bargaining agency.
