Course Description
Almost all
employers are eligible for union organization—there is no minimum size or type
of industry required for a union to represent employees. However, there are
strategies employers can use to minimize the likelihood that a union would be
accepted by employees.
Employees join
unions because they are dissatisfied with how management treats employees and
believe that the union can make conditions in the workplace better. While pay
and benefits are often hot topics in union organizing tactics, employees are
most influenced to join a union when the company is perceived to be unfair,
unresponsive, or offering substandard working conditions to employees.
Managers every day are challenged in
maintaining their employees Union Free Status.
In this CPE
webinar, we will have varied discussions and learn or gain a refresher as to
the Initial warning signs of Union Organizing which occur well before a Union
gets the appropriate number of signed Authorization Cards and the NLRB Conducts
a secret Election.
Learn why “the best Election is the
one……that is never held”.
This CPE course
will outline and discuss over twenty Initial Warning Signs of Union Organizing.
We will engage in discussions as to what you can do and what you cannot do
during a Union Campaign. There will be an introduction to the potential unfair
labor practices that management can be held accountable for and why.
We will have
discussions as to Union Authorization Cards and why employees sign them. There
will be additional topics discussed such as the NLRB Election and what
constraints the Employer is held to during this Campaign. The CPE webinar
closes with a satirical presentation and discussion of “How to Ensure A Union
in Your Workplace” (“What you do not ever want to do in the Workplace”).
