The National Labor Relations Act provides the legal framework for private-sector employees to organize into bargaining units in their workplace, or to dissolve their labor unions through a decertification petition.
Information Officers at any NLRB Regional Office will answer questions regarding representation or decertification petitions and provide assistance with completing petition forms. To file a petition to form a union or to decertify an existing one, parties must file the forms at the Regional Office that has jurisdiction over the area where the workplace is located. Go to the page titled Locating Our Offices to find a Regional Office.
The filing of a petition seeking certification or decertification of a union should be accompanied by a sufficient showing of interest to support such a petition. Support is typically demonstrated by submitting dated signatures of at least 30% of employees in the bargaining unit in favor of forming a union, or to decertify a currently recognized union.

What is a labor union-?
Labor UnionA labor union is an organized association of workers who unite into a union in order represent the collectve views (collective bargaining) of the workers to the management of the business or industry, to negotiate with the owners of that business or industry for wages, hours of work, working conditions, and other items that may be of importance to the workers and the owners, such as medical insurance and pensions. Unions usually hold elections in the work place to allow workers to vote on whether to have a union and how much power the union will have. These are known as Collective Bargaining Elections. In some states when a union wins an election, all members of that workplace pay union dues. In other "Right to Work" states, the workers are allowed not to contribute to the union, even if the union wins an organizing election. MrV Unions represent the interests of the MAJORITY of members, not the concensus of ALL members. Unions NEVER hold elections in the workplace; federal or state agencies hold representation elections, about whether to have a union and which one. They are called "representation elections". They are never about the union's powers, that is negotiated with the employer if the union wins representation.There is no situation in which all workers pay dues. The union and employer agree BEFORE the election on which job titles are properly in one bargaining unit. Only holders of those titles can vote. Managers, HR workers, and confidential secretaries are never in bargaining units and never vote.
