How To Emerge Victorious In A Union Organizing Campaign |

THIS EBOOK'S SYNOPSIS |
Upon detection of union activity your immediate and primary thrust should be to mount a counter-campaign that focuses on convincing employees not to sign union cards — to keep the union from getting the required percentage of interest. You also need to know what the additional considerations are and the steps you need to take to successfully counter a union threat and why each of those steps are necessary. There is no guarantee that any company can successfully avoid ever becoming the target of an organizing effort. But by using the basic strategies we discuss in this eBook, employers certainly can minimize the likelihood of employees viewing union representation as an attractive option. We've helped keep companies union free since 1965. So, you can hire a labor attorney or buy anti-union videos and spend upwards of tens of thousands of dollars for the same detailed union-fighting information and advise contained in this low-cost eBook (which costs far less than a labor attorney's one-hour bill). |

PARTIAL PREVIEW
"Unless the union is already at the card signing stage when its presence is first detected, local management should resist the temptation “to come out shooting.” Instead, first try to gather as much information as possible about the union. Management meetings should be held with all supervisors to alert them about a possible unionization attempt and to obtain and transmit additional information
"Management Labor Attorneys seem to agree that one consideration is a posted notice reminding employees of the company’s position on unions, and/or the dangers of signing a union card. Also consider more aggressive responses including “one-on-ones” by supervisors with individual employees, or group meetings conducted by higher management. Handouts can also be used and there are some excellent videos available on the dangers of signing a union card. Even more aggressive responses include a campaign to promote the revocation of union cards already signed, or to encourage employees to fight the union themselves."
