Why each option
The Excelsior List is the NLRB-mandated list of eligible voters that an employer must provide within seven days after an election is directed or agreed upon. It ensures the union has access to employee contact information before a representation election.
Constituent List is not an NLRB-defined term and has no basis in labor law or NLRB election procedures.
Union Prospectus List is a fabricated term with no standing in NLRB rules or the National Labor Relations Act.
The Excelsior List takes its name from the 1966 NLRB ruling in Excelsior Underwear Inc., which established the requirement that employers submit to the regional NLRB office a complete list of employee names and addresses eligible to vote, allowing the union to communicate with potential members before the election vote.
Candidate List is not an NLRB term; candidates in the political sense do not apply to union representation elections, where eligible voters - not candidates - are the subject of the required list.
