This is also how unions exist in most of the rest of the world as well. We take it for granted how weird the US labor recognition process is.
Most other countries following a long history of craft unionism. But in the US the laws were crystalized during a time of active conflict between traditional craft unions and socialist-inspired "industrial" unions. So all of the principles of the NLRB are this weird set of dated compromises.
