The bill would require a secret ballot election conducted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) before an employer recognizes a labor organization for collective bargaining. It would also prohibit labor organizations from seeking recognition or bargaining without such an election and require an NLRB secret ballot election to decide whether a recognized or certified labor organization remains the unit’s representative. These changes would not apply to collective bargaining relationships recognized before the bill’s enactment. The NLRB would have six months after enactment to revise its regulations.
Employees would choose whether to be represented by a labor organization through a secret ballot election conducted by the NLRB. The bill also calls for a secret ballot election when deciding whether a labor organization remains the representative.
