Supe's right about the decertification being possible, but I don't see it in the aviation industry.
And I don't know about this kinder version of the NLRB that is mentioned. The aviation industry seems to be getting slapped around with ULP threats and actions all the time.
What people seem to not realize is that you can't keep putting an employer on the losing end of the battle and keep tying their hands at every turn with regulations. There is only so much burden a camel can bear before you kill it under the load.
The good news today is this:

State Justice Theodore Jones leveled a $1 million-a-day fine against the Transport Workers Union for violating a state law that bars public employees from going on strike. The heavy penalty could force the union off the picket lines and back on the job. Under the law, the union's 33,000 members will also lose two days pay for every day they are on strike, and they could also be thrown in jail.

Pretty light handed, IMO, since they estimate this is costing the NY economy around $400 mill / day.
Edited because of Supe's academic paper.
