To establish a bargaining unit, a union must first gauge interest among workers and educate them about the benefits of union representation. Next, the union needs to gather signatures from a sufficient number of employees (typically at least 30% of the proposed unit) on union authorization cards to demonstrate support. After securing enough support, the union can file a petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to request a union election. Finally, if a majority of employees vote in favor of the union during the election, the union can be certified to represent the bargaining unit.

Employers must ATTEMPT to bargain a contract, but need not agree to union demands. Unions cannot get anything the employer will not give. No contract can require either party to violate a statute. COurts have almost nothing to do with bargaining - arbitrators and NLRB are enforcers.
No, an employee does not necessarily have to be a union member to be part of a collective agreement. In many jurisdictions, collective agreements cover all employees in the bargaining unit, regardless of their union membership status. However, non-members may still be required to pay a fee or dues to support the collective bargaining efforts. The specifics can vary based on local labor laws and the terms of the collective agreement.
In US states that do not have right to work laws and the employee decides he or she does want to join the union associated with the company, the employee must be terminated. The reason for that is that the Union and the company have agreed during their collective bargaining, that new employees must join the union. Conversely, in states that have right to work laws, the union cannot force an employee to be terminated.
To become a state, a US territory must petition Congress to be admitted into the union. A bill must pass the senate and then be signed by the president.
A closed union membership refers to a labor union policy where only individuals who are already union members can be hired for jobs within the union's jurisdiction. This means that new employees must join the union as a condition of employment, effectively restricting job opportunities to union members. This system is intended to strengthen the union's bargaining power and ensure solidarity among workers, but it can also limit access to jobs for non-union workers.
