Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The specific rules regarding union certification, including the threshold of signed-up members required to waive a representation vote, vary by jurisdiction and are not universally set at a specific number such as 30 members. Typically, labor boards require a certain percentage of the bargaining unit to have signed union cards before considering waiving a vote, and this percentage can differ significantly between jurisdictions.
