Generally the NLRB Will Not Allow More Than One Certification

Question

Generally the NLRB will not allow more than one certification election in a 12 month period.

Accepted Answer

This is true. The NLRB has a "bar on election" policy that prohibits a new certification election for a particular bargaining unit within 12 months of a previous election, unless there are exceptional circumstances such as an employer committing unfair labor practices.
