Voluntary Recognition Petition Law and Legal Definition
A voluntary recognition petition is a Board designated form that is filed jointly by an employer and a labor organization requesting the Board to certify the labor organization as the exclusive bargaining representative without holding an election because the labor organization clearly represents a majority of employees in an appropriate unit. Upon receipt of the petition, the Board requires the employer to post, for 20 days, a Board designated notice of its intent to recognize the labor organization. The employer is then required to file a Certification of Posting with the Board confirming that it has posted the notice for the 20 days and certifying that no intervening petitions have been filed.
