What to do

There are 3 types of requests you can make on the form:
- Recognize: You want an employee labor organization to become the only representative of a group of employees (bargaining unit)
- Challenge: A different employee labor organization wants to become a bargaining unit's only representative, and the current labor organization doesn't want them to
- Decertify: You don't want an employee labor organization to represent your bargaining unit anymore
To complete the form, you can can either:
- Print out the PDF form and fill it in
- Download the form, complete it in Microsoft Word, and print it out
2. Gather documents that show other employees want this change
You need to provide evidence that at least 30% of the employees in the bargaining unit have agreed to this change in their representation.
