What are neutrality and voluntary recognition? "So, what do neutrality and voluntary recognition mean and what are the advantages for workers and employers? Employer neutrality means that the employer stays neutral when workers choose to organize and does not take a position on how workers should vote, either pro or con. Employers who stay neutral are respecting the intent of our labor law, which is for workers to have a free and fair choice on union representation. Voluntary recognition is one of two paths for workers to win union representation at their workplace under U.S. labor law. When a majority of workers sign cards stating that they want union representation, workers can ask their employer to recognize their union without workers having to go through the formal representation election process. It is a quicker process for gaining union representation and beginning negotiations for a contract, and starts the labor-management relationship on more positive footing."
