A fair amount of HR professionals, have not experienced or lived through an era where unions were prevalent in the workplace. As of right now, in construction for example, approximately 13% of workers are in a union. It would have been the opposite about 30 years ago. I would like to make sure that everyone knows what to look for, what to do, and how to get in front of these efforts.
About the Program:
If you don't think that the National Labor Relations Board's decisions and rules impact you as an employer, think again! Contrary to popular belief, the NLRB decisions and rules significantly impact both union and non-union employers. The most recent decisions by the NLRB have created a framework that encourages unionization and concerted employee actions. It is critical that ALL employers become familiar with these decisions PRIOR to implementing or executing any practices or procedures in response thereof. We anticipate significant actions across the country to unionize - we want you and your team to be ready!
A few highlights that will be discussed in this session include, but are not limited to:
