Unionization: What Employers Can and Can’t Do

Labor law gives your employees the right to join a union.

In this 75-minute interactive online training, you will learn:

Common reasons employees turn to unions
Management-labor relations under the Biden administration
Employment laws every manager should know

Union-free employers should consider acting now to keep their operations union-free.

According to the White House Task Force on Worker Organization and Empowerment, 52% of non-union workers say that they'd vote for a union if an election were held today. That number is taken from a 2018 survey, two years before the pandemic highlighted issues of employee safety, minimum wage, paid time off, and workplace communication. It is likely that a current survey would peg this number well over 60%. This is bad news for employers who hope to remain union-free.

It's not just traditional manufacturing environments that are at risk of unionization. The pandemic has opened up a whole new world of employers that have never previously experienced union organizing, specifically in the service, retail, and technology sectors.

So, employers, what can you do now to set yourself up to remain union-free (if, in fact, that's your goal)? This informative webinar will teach you how to educate your supervisors and managers about why you want to remain union-free and empower them to preach this gospel to your employees.

The time to act is now, before a union shows up at your door.
