Political Money

527 Money In most cases, unions use 527 organizations to make unlimited "soft money" donations to campaigns or candidates they support. Unlike PACs, 527 organizations do not coordinate with specific candidates, and as a result, are not regulated by the Federal Election Commission.

Unionization Elections
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) oversees union representation elections, or "R Cases." To call an election, 30 percent of affected employees are required to sign a petition for an election. Elections can be used to both certify and decertify union representation. Increasingly, unions are avoiding the NLRB election process, instead opting for "Card Check" unionization.

Decertification Elections Union members unhappy with their current union can opt to decertify it as their exclusive bargaining representative. These are known as "RD" cases.

Elections Records Despite the commonly held belief that most workers would like to join a union, union representation elections—also known as "RC Cases"—often fail. Certification Elections since 2000
