Nonmajority unions seek the support of a minority of workers, rather than trying to represent a majority of employees, with the primary purpose of gaining a foothold in the new, nonunion workplace.

Nonmajority Unions

Labor unions that represent a segment of employees and may not have exclusive bargaining rights for all workers in a particular workplace.

Minority

A group or category of people distinguished by physical or cultural traits, who are less numerous than the more dominant group in a society or community.
