I admit I just don't understand how unions are formed or how they work. Once I saw picketing (not sure if I'm using the term properly) outside of a grocery store. When I asked what their complaint was, I found out they didn't work there and I got confused.
What does "a majority of the workers" mean? Is that a majority in a particular establishment, or employees of a company (across many locations) or an industry?
And if they vote Yes, do they then choose what kind of union to be (Teamsters, etc.) and doesn't it get kind of complicated? What happens to the people that vote No?
