Each week, we post a thought-provoking question for your consideration.  Here’s our last question, along with your answers . . .

In seeking to represent a unit of 100 employees, what is the least number of votes a union could receive and still win an NLRB election?

a.  1 (16%)
b.  30 (20%)
c.  50 (11%)
d.  51 (53%)

The correct answer is “a”:  one is all it takes.  A union only needs to win a simple majority of the votes cast to win an election.  Thus, if only one employee votes — and votes in favor of the union — the union wins.

Our viewers are now batting .579 (11 right, 8 wrong) on our weekly questions.  The next one will be coming your way soon.

Thanks for your participation!
