union elections
Workers choose representatives
Union elections are votes held to determine whether workers want union representation or to choose union leadership.
In certification elections, employees decide if a union will bargain on their behalf; in decertification elections, they vote to remove an existing union.
The company fought the union election for months.
These elections are typically overseen by government labor boards.
