Case summary: The company J has 250 workers in it. Few employees started an employee’s union known as JEU. J denied to recognize such union to which employees petitioned in National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for election. Later in June, NLRB conducted the election with a result that almost all the employees were in favor to create a union. NLRB certified the union JEU. At later stage some differences arose between J and JEU members regarding wages and benefits of the employees. A new union was elected which was not able to work properly due to the lack of support and some employees went on strike without union support.
To find: Number of employees required to sign the petition for union election.
Explanation of Solution
When an employer refuses to recognize the union, the union members can present authorization cards to the NLRB showing that 30% of the employees support a union or an election. NLRB after checking the veracity of the petition can conduct a union election under its guidance. Therefore, in the above case, minimum 75 employees must have signed the petition to seek an approval from NLRB to conduct the elections.
