union drive
Workers seeking representation
A union drive is an organized effort by workers to form a labor union at their workplace, or by an existing union to recruit new members.
The process typically involves gathering support, collecting authorization signatures, and ultimately holding a vote on union representation.
Management launched an aggressive campaign to defeat the union drive.
The union drive at the warehouse gained momentum after layoffs were announced.
