Which employees may not vote in a union certification election?
AWorkers hired within the last twelve months
BWorkers who have not signed a union card
CWorkers on the night shift at the plant
DSupervisors and managers at the firm
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Supervisors and managers at the firm
1. The election decides whether the workers want to be represented by a union.
2. Supervisors and managers are on the management side of that relationship, so they cannot vote.
3. Everyone else inside the defined bargaining unit is eligible, whatever their shift or length of service.
4. Not having signed a card does not remove the vote, because the ballot is secret and separate from the card-signing stage.
