certification of bargaining agent

Read a random definition: censo

A quick definition of certification of bargaining agent:

Certification of Bargaining Agent: This is when a group of workers choose a union to represent them in negotiations with their employer. The union is certified by a government agency after it is determined that the majority of workers in a specific group, called a bargaining unit, support the union. This is also known as union certification or certification of labor union.

A more thorough explanation:

Certification of bargaining agent refers to the process of determining which labor union will represent a group of workers in negotiations with their employer. This determination is made by the National Labor Relations Board or a state agency.

For example, if a group of factory workers wants to form a union, they would hold a vote to determine which union they want to represent them. If the majority of workers vote for a specific union, that union would be certified as the bargaining agent for that group of workers.

This certification gives the union the legal authority to negotiate on behalf of the workers and to enter into a collective bargaining agreement with the employer.

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS
12:03
@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol
[] baddestbunny
12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI

They make the Yale app a lot of work to filter out the people who don’t really want it like that
