Unionization Elections
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) oversees union representation elections, or "R Cases." To call an election, 30 percent of affected employees are required to sign a petition for an election. Elections can be used to both certify and decertify union representation. Increasingly, unions are avoiding the NLRB election process, instead opting for "Card Check" unionization.

Decertification Elections
Union members unhappy with their current union can opt to decertify— also known as "RD Cases"—it as their "exclusive bargaining representative."

Decertification Petitions
