Answer to Question 2
The first step in union organization is the establishment of a collective bargaining unit. This is a group of employees recognized by the NLRB as appropriate for exclusive representation of all employees in that group. The group must be made up of employees that are of similar rank or job.
During the campaign phase, union organizers (either from within the company or outside) try to convince the workers that they would be better represented by the union. Employers may oppose the campaign and may restrict the time and place of the campaigning, but may not threaten the workers in any way.
If a majority of the employees vote for the union in a secret ballot, the union is certified and the employer must bargain with the union for any future terms of employment.
