An employee has contacted a union to discuss the possibility of unionization in her organization. The union representative informs the employee which of the following is the first step in the collective bargaining process?
1. A general consensus within the organization to consider unionization
2. An interest of 50 percent of the staff who are interested in unionization
3. An interest of 30 percent of the staff who are interested in unionization
4. An interest in obtaining higher wages and benefits
3
Explanation: 1. For the National Labor Relations Board to consider labor negotiations, an election must occur
in which the union must demonstrate an interest of 30 percent of the employees. Most
employees are interested in higher wages and benefits but this does not elicit an election to
determine unionization.
