Workers would need secret ballots and high turnout to choose union representatives.
This bill would change how workers choose their union representatives. It would require these choices to happen through secret ballot elections. Also, at least two-thirds of eligible employees would need to vote, and a majority of those voters would have to agree on the representative.
Today, a union can become an exclusive representative if a majority of employees in a unit agree, and election outcomes are decided by a majority of votes cast. There isn't always a specific requirement for secret ballots in all designation methods or a set participation rate for eligible employees. If this bill became law, a union would only become an exclusive representative if chosen by a majority of voters in a secret ballot election where at least two-thirds of eligible employees participate.
