Card Check is unpopular in Quebec

The Canadian Province of Quebec permits certification of unions based upon card check. According to a recent survey, 71% of those polled believed that the provincial government should amend the current law to require a secret ballot election. Among self-identified union workers 80% favored a secret ballot election. Of those surveyed 23% were union workers, 33% were non-union. The study inconsistently suggests both  44% and 47% were not workers. Seems like a lot of non-workers were polled.
