Where did you read that?  Both certification and decertification 
balloting are done by secret ballot.  If a certain threshold percentage 
of workers sign a union card, the certification ballot is deemed 
redundant.  If the employer (or an employee) feels there was impropriety 
in the card signing process, it can challenge the validity of those cards 
before the labour board.
