> As a so-called minority union, it isn’t recognized by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and can’t require Alphabet or its subsidiaries like Google to negotiate a contract for its members.

Can someone explain this? What would be the requirement to be non-minority union?

That they have a majority of workers in that category on their side. Since they have a few hundred and Google have tens of thousands of software engineers in USA they are pretty far from becoming a majority union.
