CBC article reads like it was voluntary for the region, rather than something they fought against.

Indeed. The report sounds like it's from anti-union movements. I don't think that this process for forced unionization was appropriate in this case, but I also am wary of people with their own agendas.
 The questions still left unanswered in my mind are:

"Who paid for the study (or who funds Cardus?)?
"Why did Cardus choose Waterloo for the study and not do a comparative across Canada study?"
Is Cardus a "right-wing" conservative establishment?
Who were the author(s) and what social or economic credibility do they have?
Are they an industry funded lobby group?  

These and many other questions should have been asked by CBC Kitchener.
