they wanted to have an official vote on the matter, and didn’t want to be pressured into a decision on the spot

If workers want to unionize, that's their business. Workers don't need anyone's permission to organize. Unionization means conditions are bad and individual efforts to correct them have failed. The company wanting an "official vote" is just an excuse to add friction to a process that requires none.
