Barbarians at the Gate: Why You Need to Plan an Organizing Campaign and How to Build Your Battle Plan
We have all heard about the NLRB's new “quickie election” rules ad nauseum. This session moves beyond the fear factor of the quickie election rhetoric to discuss the very real threats that these rules pose to employers and why employers need to be ready now for a possible union campaign down the road. In this session, you will receive:
- Guidance on making sound business decisions and recommendations to senior executives on proactive campaign preparations.
- Guidance on how to analyze your organization’s strengths, weaknesses and union campaign vulnerability.
- Guidance on building your very own campaign battle plan that will be ready the moment you see the first union authorization card.
- Guidance on the messages that resonate with employees or backfire against employers, and how to tactically roll them out. • Practical “how-to” steps to create your campaign battle binder, including templates to have at the ready for future campaigns.
