Seminar Overview
Charting the Course: Understanding Labor Law, Labor Relations & Pro-Employee Strategies is a highly interactive two-day workshop designed especially for the practioner – the people who most impact the employee relations environment. This is a hands-on, practical course to guide leaders on effective strategies for protecting their human capital, their reputation, and their business goals.
Techniques taught in this two-day workshop will help leaders better understand and manage labor and employee relations, protect their union-free status, and improve organizational performance.
In addition, participants will learn best practices for improving employee morale, reducing workplace conflict and strengthening employee management relations thereby reducing or eliminating the need for employees to turn to 3rd parties for a resolution to workplace dissatisfaction.
When employees do not believe there is a fair and legitimate opportunity to resolve issues or to have their voices heard in the work environment, they are faced with choosing to quit, becoming ineffective, or turning to 3rd parties such as the EEOC, lawyers, or labor unions for remedy. Every one of these alternatives is costly and can be catastrophic to your organization.
Businesses operate in a new and challenging labor relations environment. From what employees expect from their employers to what you can expect from labor unions, it’s a brand new day. Whether the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) passes in its current form or not, the legislation has demonstrated big labor's relentless pursuit of the easiest, quickest way into your organization with as much legislative support as possible. Union membership is on the rise thanks to organizing strategies such as corporate campaigns and neutrality/card check agreements. In 2006, 90% of the new members UNITE HERE organized never even cast a ballot. In August 2005, the AFL-CIO organizing director told The Wall Street Journal that the previous year at least three times as many workers were unionized through “card check” than through NLRB supervised secret ballot elections.
