Certification Law & Legal Definition

Certification refers to the determination by the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), its agents or representatives, of the results of an election, or the results of a petition to consolidate existing exclusively recognized units.

A Certification of Representative is issued to a labor organization that has been selected by a majority of employees in an agency or activity in an appropriate unit to act as the exclusive representative for all employees in the unit. Once a certification is issued, an agency or activity must accord exclusive recognition to the labor organization for the purpose of collective bargaining.
