Bargaining with Minority Unions

In the Fall 2011 issue of the ABA Journal of Labor & Employment Law, Vol. 27 No. 1, authors Catherine Fisk and Xenia Tashlitsky urge us to "Imagine a World Where Employers are Required to Bargain with Minority Unions." The authors observe that while case law says it cant be done, that is not an inevitable conclusion based on statutory language.  They also see many potential benefits in such a requirement.
