Decertification elections


An important provision of the Taft-Hartley Act sought to balance the ability of workers to vote for a union with an equal ability to vote out a union. The act established the decertification election in which the workers in a bargaining unit are allowed to vote on whether or not they want to stop being represented by a particular union. If a majority of the votes are in favor of decertification then the union loses its right as a sole bargaining agent for the workers.
