IT unions and programmng language comedy

I'm not sure what I think of a petition to start a union. Telecommuting IT workers aside, what's wrong with an election? The cynic in me wonders if this another form of the organizer working to open the ballots. How about an open vote on how which mechanism to decide organize where they choose between open ballot, closed ballot, and signed cards/petitions for a subsequent organization vote. Make the closed ballot not require this step. Is this a doable compromise?

Here's a pretty darn funny (to a geek) take on the "religious wars" on programming languages.
