Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most effective and legitimate way for employees to terminate their relationship with a union is by filing a petition for a decertification election. This process allows all employees to vote on whether or not they want to continue being represented by the union. Simply stopping payment of union dues or petitioning the employer to stop negotiating with the union would not legally dissolve the union's representation of the employees. Requesting a new union to negotiate on their behalf may be an option, but decertifying the current union must take place first.
