Union Recognition, also known as union certification, is the acknowledgment by an employer or authority that a trade union has the right to represent and negotiate on behalf of a group of workers. This is typically achieved after a secret-ballot election, supervised by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), in which the union secures at least 50 percent of the vote.
