Workers seeking to form a union at their workplace should talk to their co-workers to build support about issues they are facing. Often workers do this through forming an organizing committee. Workers can contact UFCW Local 1994 MCGEO for support and guidance.
A group of workers seeking to organize a union should gather union authorization cards/petitions from their co-workers to show support for forming a union. Union authorization cards are documents that workers sign expressing their support for union representation.
Once the organizing committee has support for the union from majority of workers, the group can petition for an NLRB election. At this point, the organizers should be talking to their coworkers to continue to build support leading up to the election.
If the election is successful, the employer is then required by law to bargain in good faith over working conditions.
