UNIT 7 1
Part A
1. According to colleagues, it is possible to gain recognition by the union through the
authorization cards, but it is only a part of the process. At least thirty percent of employees
must sign in for authorization. Then the NLRA have to conduct an election, and If all these
cards are in order, then a date is set for an organization after that a secret ballot representative
certification election is being held which requires a majority of eligible voting workers to
accept the union.
2. Yes, this is a violation of NLRA.
The first step will be filing an unfair labor practice charge. After that, the field office conducts
an investigation and analyze if there is any reasonable cause to believe that a violation has
occurred. Then the charge will either be dismissed or is transferred to the regional director, if
there is a violation then NLRA will do a voluntary settlement.
3. This means that this law allows the workers to work under the collective bargaining agreement
without joining a union. This law declares that the union security agreements require
membership as a condition of employment which is not legal. This will allow the employees
for the right to decide for joining or for supporting the union financially.
4. No, I could not join a union
As the supervisors are the employees that use to assign their tasks or activities to the other
employees and they are not eligible to be presented by a union.
