An RU petition is filed by a union or public employees seeking to certify a union as the exclusive bargaining representative of a bargaining unit. The purpose of the petition may be to create a new bargaining unit or change the union that represents an existing bargaining unit.
Employees or a union may file a petition for a representation election (RC) after collecting signatures from at least 30% of workers in the potential bargaining unit. Petitions that are not withdrawn or dismissed result in an NLRB-conducted election. A majority of votes decides the outcome.
