While facing a Union organizing drive brings up many important questions that need to be answered relatively quickly, the quality of these decisions cannot be sacrificed for the sake of expediency. Before making any hasty decisions, you are usually better served by contacting a labor attorney with plenty of experience in Union organizing campaigns. He/she will protect and maximize your legal rights, while ensuring full compliance with NLRB laws.
Shortly after you have retained legal representation, you will need to decide how you are going to communicate your message to the employees legally and effectively. There are basically two methods of running a campaign.
- With the assistance and direction of your legal counsel, you use your management team to communicate the message directly to the employees, or
- You retain the services of professional direct persuaders (like us) to communicate your message directly to your employees also under the legal oversight of your legal counsel.
Studies demonstrate that the use of direct persuaders significantly increase the employer’s chances of victory by notably enhancing the following elements critical to any successful campaign:
Experience:
Our consultants have the experience in communicating legally and effectively, in English or Spanish, with the voting group. Managers and Supervisors often have to go through a crash course in labor law and campaigning that more often than not, results in an overcautious approach out of fear of having Unfair Labor Practice Charges filed against them. Your ability to communicate as effectively as possible with the voting group is of paramount importance to a successful campaign and cannot be underestimated.
Credibility:
Employees are more likely to rely on information presented by the party that speaks with the most confidence and knowledge. The fact is that Union Organizer are experts at selling Union representation, would your management team be able to communicate as effectively with your employees?

The truth of the matter is that we’ve never encountered a situation where employees seek out a union because they find themselves with an extra $50 or $60 in their pockets and they don’t know what to do with the money. It is our experience that they go to the union when they no longer believe their employer is truly interested in solving their problems. A critical part of our consultants job is to identify where management has fallen short and, in the event the union is rejected by the employees, help implement a plan to resolve these issues as quickly as legally possible.
