Does the bill restrict employees from forming as their own collective bargaining unit or does it say they can only do so through an NRLB recognized union?

You'll have to do a little shuffling between H.R.800 for the 110th Congress and H. R. 243 for the 111th Congress

All of the old bill is available and the only similarity so far is...
SEC. 3. FACILITATING INITIAL COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS.
Section 8 of the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 158) is amended...
The old bill had an additional section...
SEC. 2. STREAMLINING UNION CERTIFICATION.

(a) In General- Section 9(c) of the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 159(c)) is amended...

This is the text of the new bill...
SEC. 2. INITIAL CONTRACT DISPUTES.
Section 8 of the National Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 158) is amended...
Keep in mind the fact that the bill can change over time as there were 4 versions of Bill Number H.R.800 for the 110th Congress. I'm pretty sure they'll get to adding in the other sections of the old bill and bringing the new wording in line to match the old one over time as is usually done when passing bills from one Congress to another.

Now, I'm not trying to sound like a smart ass, but why don't you read it for yourself and answer your own question.

And just in case link jumping is too much trouble...
(h)(1) If, not later than 60 days after the certification of a new representative of employees for the purpose of collective bargaining, the employer of the employees and the representative have not reached a collective bargaining agreement with respect to the terms and conditions of employment, the employer and the representative shall jointly select a mediator to mediate those issues on which the employer and the representative cannot agree.
(2) If the employer and the representative are unable to agree upon a mediator, either party may request the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to select a mediator and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service shall upon the request select a person to serve as mediator.
(3) If, not later than 30 days after the date of the selection of a mediator under paragraph (1) or (2), the employer and the representative have not reached an agreement, the employer or the representative may transfer the matters remaining in controversy to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service for binding arbitration.'.

You know what, I was fixin' to rant on you hard just for general principle because you've been here for so long and yet you asked a question that simply looking at the text of the proposed bill would've answered! I have, however, changed my mind and have deleted what I was going to post.
If you need some help in learning how I went about finding what I linked to then let me know as I would be glad to help you. If we're not informed then we are at a disadvantage and if we don't know how or where to get the information we need then we'll forever be stuck in a rut.
