43. Not surprised at all
But it further strengthens by belief that secret ballots are the way to go, and if a caucus must be held, probably it's not a good idea to hold them at a site where people are dependent for their livelihood.

Having said that, objections to this plan should have been raised long ago, not right after the Union made it's actual endorsement. Still at this stage a spotlight should be focused on this process to protect the right of workers to vote their own conscience without being subject to efforts to intimidate them any more than is inevitable with a caucus system of voting.
