The National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) is expected to rule this fall on the legality of “neutrality agreements” – a device used extensively by unions to successfully organize employees in lieu of the NLRB secret ballot election process.

A typical neutrality agreement between an employer and a union commits the employer to “remain neutral” while the union attempts to organize the employees and further commits the employer to recognize the union if it obtains signed membership cards from a majority of the employees rather than having the matter submitted to a secret ballot election under the auspices of the National Labor Relations Board.
