In order for the NLRB to approve an election to take place requires 30% of the eligible employees to sign the authorization cards.
A secret ballot election can be bypassed when more than 50% of eligible employees sign the authorization cards and the employer recognizes the union as the bargaining agent. Most of the time employers will force an election so they have time to persuade their employees to vote it down by any means possible. Legal or illegal.
