		The very next day, however, Auciello told the Union that it doubted that a majority of the bargaining unit's employees supported the Union, and for that reason disavowed the collective bargaining agreement and denied it had any duty to continue negotiating.
		Auciello traced its doubt to knowledge acquired before the Union accepted the contract offer, including the facts that 9 employees had crossed the picket line, that 13 employees had given it signed forms indicating their resignation from the Union, and that 16 had expressed dissatisfaction with the Union.
		They address our fickle nature by "enabl[ing] a union to concentrate on obtaining and fairly administering a collective bargaining agreement" without worrying about the immediate risk of decertification and by "remov[ing] any temptation on the part of the employer to avoid good faith bargaining" in an effort to undermine union support.
