Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to hold an election for unionization, a union needs to obtain authorization cards from a majority of workers. These cards express that the workers want the union to represent them in collective bargaining. Once the cards are collected, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) will verify them to ensure that they represent a majority of workers. If verified, the NLRB will order an election to take place.
