Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The situation described is a card check, where the union is recognized based on the majority of workers signing union cards rather than holding a traditional election. A neutrality agreement refers to an agreement between an employer and a union to remain neutral during an organizing campaign, while a secret ballot is the traditional method of holding an election. Mandatory bargaining refers to the legal requirement for an employer to bargain with a union if a majority of workers have voted to be represented by the union. Bad faith bargaining refers to an employer engaging in negotiations with a union without a genuine intent to reach an agreement.
