For as long as the National Labor Relations Act has existed, unions have had two routes to pursue representation rights: A union can file a petition for an election, or it can ask an employer to voluntarily recognize the union. The latter approach has been the subject of significant attention in the years following the decision in Cemex Construction Materials Pacific, LLC, 372 NLRB No. 130 (2023), which placed the onus on employers to file election petitions under penalty of compelled recognition for failing to do so. A question that remains is, how exactly should an employer react when it receives a demand for recognition?
自从《国家劳工关系法》存在以来,工会就有两种途径来追求代表权:工会可以提交选举请愿书,或者要求雇主自愿承认工会。后一种方法在Cemex建筑材料太平洋有限责任公司(Cemex Construction Materials Pacific, LLC, 372 NLRB No. 130(2023))的决定之后的几年里一直备受关注,该决定规定雇主有责任提交选举请愿书,否则将受到强制承认的处罚。剩下的问题是,当雇主收到得到认可的要求时,它究竟应该如何反应?

With the change in political control of the White House, as well as Republican control of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, many employers are anxiously awaiting more favorable labor policies and rulings. The perspective is not unfounded, particularly given that one of President Trump's close advisors, Elon Musk, has been the target of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) action over the years. A more pro-employer perspective on the interpretation of the labor law is almost assured and is likely to happen sooner, rather than later, with the failure of the outgoing Congress to confirm the renomination of Chairman McFerran to the labor board. With that being said, and most relevant to employers seeking to retain union-free status, should there be optimism that the recent election of President Trump will ease union organizing success?

Regardless of the amount of preparation that may have gone into union prevention efforts, the receipt of a union demand for recognition or NLRB election petition almost uniformly results in the response. What do we do now? A few employers have preplanned strategies to roll out. Most are starting almost from scratch with little-to-no advance thought on how to respond to a request for a union election. This month, we take a few moments to discuss the reasons why campaigns against unionization fail, and what employers can do to help improve their chance in a union election.

Union-free employers facing an active organizing campaign should never underestimate the resolve of union organizers. A recent example of how a union can, and will, dig in to organizing efforts arises from an Amazon facility located in Bessemer, Alabama. The Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union has been attempting to organize employees at the facility since 2020, shortly after its opening.

When developing a campaign to combat union organizing activity, management must study where to concentrate its attack. Evaluate the company's strengths and weaknesses. Concentrate on the union's weaknesses and the company's strengths. Invariably, a main issue will arise; however, the tenor of a campaign often changes. New issues may arise to alter its character. Campaigns—at least, effective ones—are dynamic.
