Are unions using a corporate campaign to target your organization?
How would you know?
As the AFL-CIO and the Change to Win (CTW) have become more savvy, well-funded, and better staffed, they've developed a new tactic in their organizing efforts: the corporate campaign.
Described as a "coercive" form of union organizing, the corporate campaign is designed to compel employers to abandon the adoption of a union in the workplace by a secret-ballot vote. This forces the employer’s hand in allowing unions into the workplace via a neutrality agreement or the "card check process," which grants unions the ability to organize by getting a majority of employees to sign a petition.
Even though they're viewed as perfectly legal under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), these campaigns can involve a negative Public Relations effort, a boycott of the employer's products, or even threats of litigation and attempts to interfere with customer relationships.
Don't allow a corporate campaign to pressure your organization into collective bargaining by harming your operations. Learn how to fight back, fairly and effectively by participating in the all-new HR Hero audio conference, Union Corporate Campaigns:
How HR Can Combat New Organizing Threats.
In just 90 minutes, you'll learn how to recognize, prepare for, and deal with a corporate campaign, as well as:
- The ins and outs of a corporate campaign, including the "red flags" of a campaign taking shape
- How a campaign can damage your company's reputation, and you can fight a PR war loaded with half-truths and innuendo
- Ways a campaign -- especially a successful one -- can affect your organization's financial performance
- The likelihood that the Employee Free Choice Act will pass (almost a certainty if a Democrat is elected), and how passage could open the floodgates to corporate campaigns after the 2008 election
- How organizers can target your investors and impact shareholder value
- Real-life examples of how organizers have been successful at waging boycotts of an employer’s products or services
- How campaigns can actually result in employee litigation and regulations against the employer, including filing unfair labor practices with state agencies and asking the OFCCP to investigate claims of violating affirmative action requirements
- What HR can do to make unions irrelevant to employees -- before the organizing starts
- How to develop a comprehensive plan that starts working long before the union shows up, including steps you can take now by reviewing your discipline and termination policies, bulletin-board posting guidelines, and e-mail rules
- How to train your supervisors to know what they can legally say (or not say) about unions seeking to organize
- How you can define the communications agenda and put the union on the defensive
