Reply #3: The time frame to the election AFTER a majority of workers say yes... [View All]

The delay gives companies time to illegally twist arms and make promises or threats. I know. I was fired illegally in an organization attempt in 1980. It took 3 and 1/2 years of court action to win my case. But it stopped the union after a majority said yes in meetings and on the cards. Today a similar case takes 5-7 to get to the US Appeals Court like I did. Simply having a majority of signed cards under act still doesn't mean a contract will happen.
