National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB")
representation elections are the most common means
of determining whether employees will be represented
by a union.
The election process is initiated by the filing of a petition with the NLRB.
Pre-election issues may be resolved by agreement of employer and union, or by NLRB decision after a hearing. Such issues include which employees and job classifications are included in the election, and the election date, time and location.
Before the election the employer may campaign against union representation. Letters to employees, speeches, and video presentations are typical means of communicating the employer's message.
Properly planned and executed employer campaigns frequently succeed in defeating union organizing attempts. But there are many restrictions on employer conduct during this pre-election period, and employers without proper guidance may commit serious mistakes.
Knowledge of labor law and practical experience in conducting such campaigns are both critical.
The attorneys of Harris Dowell Fisher & Harris, L.C. have many years of experience in representing employers in NLRB representation proceedings. We frequently represent employers in such proceedings and assist them in preparing effective representation election campaigns
