Union Decertification

Executive Vice President and Host of Employee Relations Words of Wisdom, Bob Carroll talks with Brandon Grysko, an attorney at Fausone Bohn about the right way to get rid of a union if employees decide they are no longer wanted.
Whether you are an employee looking to "decertify" your union or a owner, leader, manager or supervisor, this video touches on the process. In future episodes we will explore decertification from the employees standpoint as well as the employers standpoint.
Decertification is an employee driven process and management needs to know and understand their rights while employees are collecting signatures to file a RD petition with the NLRB. It is important to understand that as an employer you can't interfere with the process until a petition is filed where you can move forward with a campaign, educating employees on why the idea of a decertification may be the right choice for them to make.

Thank you for addressing my question. Sadly not the answer I was hoping for, but you did provide a glimmer of hope that one day the team members could exorcise the Demon. Good stuff gents

You can pay them less - ask for that form. You won’t be able to have a rep position with the union but u will still be in the union. At least hit them in the pocket book.

I understand why people don’t like unions . But in my work place it has really been beneficial. We’re in the talks in decertifying and switching Union.

I'm leading a decertification now, and I'm struggling with the paperwork. Any guidance here?

The game of the unions is to get more customers to pay their fees under the guise that they are helping big bad corporations.
While in some professions it helps, it most likely won’t if you are specialized like me. I am a nurse but in a sub specialty that required education or certification with experience prior to getting hired. That means I pursued educated - lots of blood sweat years and $. I fortunately was hired pre-union.
Now the union slashed our benefits : 401k, life insurance and yes even medical insurance in exchange for a few dollars raise - that we have to pay in fees anyway. Worse they decimated our job description and qualifications to get our job which opened the flood gates for any inexperienced or uneducated nurse to come in- I’m talking about they didn’t even need to try to get any certifications or education just needed seniority. Great idea for a business (yup unions are businesses themselves) who’s model is to get more customers right- elevated the majority - new customer that are pro unions and paying fees - and they did so it quickly to convert our department into majority pro union. Meanwhile my colleagues and I are forced to teach nurses that bury us in seniority (they get better schedules, vacation) than the most senior specialist?? They will get fast tracked to get payed more since they know union hoops.
I gave up the fight against them. But if your in this position one thing you can do is check the box to not pay them more due to political reasons. And I’ll look into decertification but sounds arduous 😥 communism never ends well.

What about when the union represent two separate factions do both factions have to agree to desertification?
