Question

As a result of the organizing campaign at Champlain Products, the union obtained signed authorization cards from 41% of the employees it wants to represent. What is the next step in the organizing campaign

Answer 1

Answer:

Please see explanation below.

Explanation:

The next step is to conduct a secret ballot election which will be supervised by National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) as might be required by the employer-Champlain products inorder to obtain voluntary support from the employees that the union wants to represent. The reason being that the management might decided not to recognize the card checks practise on the basis that a union without a secret ballot election is not reliable hence employees that signed the card might have been intimidated or coerced by the union to do so.

Where the management refuses to recognize the card check that was signed by at least 41% of the employees it wants to represent, management would then request for secret ballot election where employees would be able to vote confidentially without coercion or undue influence from the union or co-workers.
