I am doing an assignment on the NLRB and I cannot find what percent of employees must say "yes" to the secret vote for the NLRB to validate the establishment of the union. Is it just 51% of the vote needed to say yes?
Hi Thomas, You're very close; during a National Labor Relations Board overseen election, the proposed bargaining unit needs a majority, specifically, 50% plus one, voting in favor of a Union. Thank you for the opportuntity to address your question. If we may be of further assistance in regards to this, or another issue, please contact us again.

I work for a distribution company is there any way we can make the company union i have most of the employees willing to do what ever it takes.how many employees is the minimum
Hi Mike, The minimum number of Workers required to form a Union is ONE (a Union may be formed when the majority [50% plus one] votes to form a Union). Based on the type of work you described, distribution, one Union which I encourage you to consider is the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, www.Teamster.org. Please consider that many Labor Organizations are capable of representing (and do represent) workers within a wide spectrum of professions so you may choose to consider some of those Labor Unions which you may locate using www.YellowPages.com and searching "Labor Organization" within your City and State. Thank you for the opportuntity to address your question. If we may be of further assistance in regards to this, or another issue, please contact us again. - Fraternally, - Dustin - OrganizingAdvocate - Unions.org
My husband was terminated for attempted to steal some nut and bolts even thought he never left the worksite with them but was off the time clock. He filled a grevience (he was the union steward and a memeber of the local union board) he was told by the excutive committe that after review they would not pursue his grievence. No further explaination was given and the BA will not retun his phone calls. Is this normal professionalism of the BA and union brothers?
Hi Mardi, - Sounds like there is more to the story than you or I may be aware of. If the reason for the Union choosing not to persue the grievance is due to illegal discrimination (or if you believe it may be), contact the United States Department of Labor (DOL), www.DOL.gov. It is the DOL's responsibility to investigate such matters. Thank you for the opportunity to address your question. If we may be of further assistance in regards to this, or another issue, please contact us again. Fraternally, Dustin OrganizingAdvocate
I currently work in a corporate office setting and, simply put, am quite tired of the whole corporate business desk job. Although my skills are primarily in business management, I am very interested in joining a labor union for its great benefits and learning a valuable trade. My question basically is how would i go about joining a union and receiving the proper training? I'm a diligent worker and very intelligent. I learn very quickly. With all that has been said please provide any useful info that would help further my goals. Thanks
