Summary Introduction

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.

Expert Solution & Answer

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.
