Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A certification vote is a vote conducted by a government representative (usually a labor board) to determine whether a union will be certified as the official bargaining agent for a group of employees. The vote is typically conducted after the union has successfully collected signed union cards from a certain percentage of employees in the proposed bargaining unit, and the employer has not voluntarily recognized the union. The vote is usually conducted by secret ballot and must have a majority in favor of certification in order for the union to be certified.
