An excerpt from “Anticipate!” ©️written by Thornton Mason.
"The length of a union campaign varies depending on a number of factors - the size of the targeted workforce, the level of employee engagement, the support (or lack of support) for unionization, the history and prevalence of unions in the industry, and the employer's response.
Some union campaigns can be relatively short, lasting only a few weeks or months. Others can take years. In many cases, unionization efforts involve multiple attempts over a period of years before ultimately being either dropped or successful.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) sets specific timeframes for various stages of the unionization process, such as the time between the filing of a union petition and the election (typically between 42 and 60 days). The NLRB and Unfair Labor Practices are factors to consider as well.
