Management Training Seminars

Positive leadership translates to a positive working environment. Management must take necessary steps to improve the workforce and prevent unionization. 

At Labor Consulting Group, LLC, we provide effective management training seminars to promote a positive workplace that deters union interest. Count on our union avoidance training to understand the underlying causes of union formation and how to address these issues proactively.

What Are the Top Reasons Employees Form Unions?

Labor unions stem from a variety of reasons, such as:

  • Treatment: Employee perception of how workers are treated is a reality in their minds. Whether it stems from poor communication, lack of management support or unfair workplace policies, all unfair treatment can lead to possible union campaigns. 
  • Benefits: Another main reason for union formation is outdated company benefits. Employees seek to improve their benefits package with their company, but they are met with a revolving door policy by their peers. 
  • Written contract: Labor unions sell employees on a fully negotiated, black-and-white collective bargaining agreement. Employees can’t resist the idea that management is not allowed to change that contract once ratified.
  • Seniority: Oftentimes, seniority doesn’t count for anything in a non-unionized company. Unions advertise seniority above all in their campaigns, and that would look irresistible to a high-seniority workforce. 

Risks When Unions Form

When unions form, it leads to a series of disadvantages to your company, including:

  • Less management control, which may apply to external recruitment of job candidates
  • Restriction in communication because certain issues need to pass through union representatives
  • Additional expenses due to possible in-house grievances, lawsuits and NLRB complaints
  • Promotions based on seniority, instead of skill and performance being the determining factors for the job
  • Negative workplace culture or “us against them” mentality that unions bring to the workplace

How Does Our Labor Relations Training Prevent Unions?

Management training seminars are a key part of our consulting services. We implement practical union prevention training sessions for all management levels to better address employee concerns and improve their overall employee relations. Our team of consultants provides knowledge and guidance in: 

  • Labor laws awareness: We educate managers on current labor laws to ensure compliance and prevent Unfair Labor Practices (ULP’s). In this instance, having a grasp of labor regulations avoids legal pitfalls. 
  • Positive workplace culture: We administer seminars that foster a culture of fairness, respect and inclusivity. Incorporating these elements into the workplace creates a positive environment. 
  • Proactive employee relations: We understand how proactive measures prevent union formation in many ways. We tailor training sessions that empower managers to properly address employee concerns.
