Actually in the NBA situation the players had already voted and gave the executive the authority to decertify the union when they felt it was necessary. That made it very clear to the owners that they would not be able to slip in a CBA while a vote was being taken.
"(NBA) (p)layers earlier this summer gave the union's executive council the go-ahead to decertify, so a vote among the rank-and-file would not be necessary."

The question is was the same vote taken in June when the players met. Bob Goodenow has learned all the lessons from the other leagues, is this a lesson he learned? This is something that can be kept on the back burner until required and is not something that must be disclosed.
