The process described in the scenario is that of decertification, which involves employees voting to end their union membership and representation. Option A, bargaining dismissal, is not a commonly used term in labor relations and does not fit with the scenario. Option C, arbitration, refers to a different process of settling disputes between parties through a neutral third party. Option D, certification, refers to the process of determining if a union has enough support to represent employees in bargaining with an employer, which is not applicable in this scenario since the employees voted to end their union membership.
