How does a union become a majority representative?
If a majority of employees in a proposed unit express support for a particular employee organization, the public employer may recognize that organization as the exclusive representative without PERC intervention. If a majority of employees in a unit sign authorization cards, and only one union seeks to represent them, the employees may petition PERC to be certified as the exclusive representative by card check. If a group of employees or a union files a representation petition with an adequate showing of interest, PERC is authorized to conduct a secret ballot election to determine if an organization received a majority of the valid ballots cast.
