The answer is decertification. This refers to the procedure where the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) permits employees to call for a special election to get rid of the union as their “exclusive representative.” The objective of this is to dismiss the union’s right to represent you and your colleagues. This process offers you with full relief by removing the union’s power to act as your bargaining representative. If you are included in the employee union that is protected under a collective bargaining agreement even if you are a union member or not, you can still sign a request and participate in the election for decertification. Once the union is removed as your legal bargaining representative you are no longer part of the union or pay charges or fees to it.
