Major Change in Unionization Rules —Fiorenza

As mentioned above, the NLRA currently does not require an employer to recognize a union unless the union receives support by a majority of employees who vote in a secret ballot election. Such an election is typically conducted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) after a 42-day campaign period. During that campaign period, the employer has an opportunity to provide employees with information about union representation, so that employees can make an informed decision in the secret ballot vote. The EFCA would essentially do away with this campaign period.
