What’s the NLRB?
The National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency vested to safeguard employees right to organize and to determine whether to have a union as their bargaining representative. The agency also acts to prevent and remedy unfair labor practices committed by private sector employers.
Can they fire me for taking part in union activities?
No, they can not under section 7 of the NLRB you have the right to organize.
How long will this take?
It varies from group to group and depends on how many people are active during the campaign. Many hands make light work and this couldn't apply more to the organizing process. In rare occurrences, if the support is overwhelming for the union, a company can opt to skip the election process and go straight to the bargaining table.
Why do companies not want us to unionize?
The company doesn't want you to organize because you get a voice in the work place and they lose control over controlling you.
Will the union make me strike?
No, the union will never make you go on strike. The employees are the only ones that can decided what is important enough to strike for.
