LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Employees of a Louisville Half Price Books store have filed with the National Labor Relations Board in an attempt to unionize.

The signed petition was filed by the United Food and Commercials Workers Union Local 227 on Tuesday, representing 18 workers of the new and used bookstore on Hurstbourne Parkway.

In order to file for union petition, more than 30% of employees within the place of business need to be in support of forming a union. Once the petition is collected, the NLRB would begin the election process, where a majority of employees will need to vote in support of unionization.
