Practice question
Eligible employees participate in a duly administered consent election. A losing union says that because the parties voluntarily agreed to vote, the result can never have any representation-election bar effect and a new petition may always be filed the next morning. Which is best?
- Voluntary agreement necessarily eliminates every legal effect
- The rules recognize bar effects for qualifying consent-election results, so the blanket assertion is incorrect
- Only employer-appointed representatives can create a bar
- Every private show of hands creates a permanent bar
- A consent result forever prohibits every later representation case
