A Checklist describing the process for a union becoming the exclusive bargaining representative for a group of employees. The resource outlines the timeline and procedures involved in the union representation process under a National Labor Relations Board RC Petition for an election that employers should understand to best respond to union organizing efforts.

Practical Law gratefully acknowledges the assistance of John Doran, Ted Scott and Bob Battista, formerly of Littler Mendelson, P.C. on the initial draft of this Checklist.
