Union Avoidance

Today most companies prefer to maintain a union-free work environment. We are specialists at countering union organizing drives through lawful means. Our goal is not only union avoidance, but also to improve employee relations and bring employees and management closer together.

We focus on identifying the key issues that lead employees to seek outside representation, and then show our clients the appropriate ways to address each issue. Our strategies, such as our vulnerability assessments and union avoidance training, have proven extremely effective in countering unionization.

Counter Union Organizing Campaigns

Industrial Relations Consultants, Inc. has over 30 years of experience helping companies avoid unions, with an unbeatable track record winning NLRB elections, never having had a repeat election in the same bargaining unit. If an employer does become a target of an organizing campaign, we develop creative strategies to encourage a union-free work environment.

An NLRB election campaign can be a very delicate and complex legal process, requiring experienced labor relations consultants who understand the boundaries of the law. We work closely with management to identify the issues behind the union organizing drive and design an effective campaign strategy that will preserve a union-free work environment.

Our experienced consultants will conduct day-to-day coaching and educate employees about unions. We will ensure that employees receive a full and accurate picture regarding union promises, collective bargaining, and what to expect in a unionized work environment. As a result, we will create an environment where employees do not feel the need for a union.

The sooner this action is taken, the more likely the results will favor the employer. We are there throughout the entire campaign period; the ultimate goal is to keep your company union-free.
