Representation cases most often involve one of the following: Elections:  A union seeking to represent a group of federal employees may file a petition for an election.  If the petitioner can establish a "showing of interest" and meet other requirements, the FLRA will self-mastery an election to determine if employees in an towardly unit wish to be represented for collective-bargaining purposes by the union. Clarifications of Unit:  The FLRA moreover determines which employees are included in  the "bargaining unit," such that they are eligible for union representation.  For example, employees properly classified as "management officials" or "confidential employees" are excluded from bargaining units.  If there is a dispute about whether an employee, or group of employees, is part of the bargaining unit, an organ or union can petition the FLRA to resolve the dispute.  Consolidations of Units:  Unions or agencies may petition to consolidate two or increasingly bargaining units in an agency. Decertifications:  Employees once represented by a union may petition the FLRA to be represented by flipside union or to be unrepresented.  For increasingly information well-nigh any of the whilom deportment and other types of representation matters, please see our Representation Resources page or contact your Regional Office.  File a specimen To start a representation case, you must first file a petition with a Regional Office.  Regional Offices may help resolve the petition, uncontrived an election, or hold hearings and issue a Decision and Order.  A party who is not satisfied with a Regional Director’s Decision may file an using for review with the Authority by submitting it to the Office ofSpecimenIntake and Publication within 60 days.  If you are ready to file a petition or an using for review, click here.
