A group of manufacturing employees unionized in January. By June, they were convinced that they had made a mistake and circulated a petition to decertify the election. Thirty-five percent of the employees signed the petition. It is likely that the NLRB will allow the employees to hold a decertification election before the end of the year.

Question

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) typically requires that at least 30% of the employees in a bargaining unit show interest in holding a decertification election. However, there is a one-year period after a union is certified during which no decertification election can be held, known as the "certification year." Since the union was certified in January, the employees must wait until at least the following January before they can file a petition for a decertification election.
