The COVID-19 pandemic changed the workplace, and as it went on far longer than first expected, employers had to make hard decisions about pay, benefits and jobs. That uncertainty left many employees open to outside promises of security, and union organizers used it to try to persuade employees to form a union.
This 60-minute webinar helps employers recognize whether employees are organizing. You'll review the relevant labor laws, the consequences of violating them, and the impact of TIPS.
You'll then learn the many signs of potential organizing activity, how to address it, and how the company can defend itself.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
A union can be costly even without higher wages and benefits: rule changes can slow productivity, an outside party slows decisions, and higher costs may force price increases that affect customers. A misstep under labor law, on the other hand, can sink your response from the start.
This session suits business owners, HR managers and office managers.
