Rights As An Employee
When it comes to unions, many employers take the view that "can not" or "not going to happen here." Other companies believe that "our employees are loyal and would not go to a union. "In the current context of this approach is unrealistic and dangerous.
First, management must make a Business conscious decision to stay together. Does your company have made this decision?
The decision to remain union-free may seem easy, but the implications of this decision are often ignored by most employers.
The vast majority of companies understand the benefits to remain free by the unions and to know the disadvantages of having a union. Some companies may have a choice regarding union recognition – for example, some projects construction can be done through the use of union workers.
The obvious disadvantages for unions that the presence of a union limits the flexibility management in a number of different ways. Virtually any decision taken by the administration regarding the treatment of an employee may give rise to a complaint presented by the Union. If management want to change a term or condition of employment, the company must negotiate with the union and obtain the agreement of the union before making change.
Another disadvantage of unionization is that going to cause havoc in any program that keeps the company on diversity and equal employment opportunities. Any decision for promotion or transfer will be controlled by seniority. Thus, new employees Syndicated environment for minorities and women could be promoted before employees with more services.
When management decides it wants to remain union free, the company must face the implications of this decision. How to implement the management of this decision?
The first question we must face is whether to communicate this decision to the address and employees. Some employers think that the less said the better about the trade unions – why put the idea in the minds of employees.
Unfortunately, Automatic response is not concerned. If the company is satisfied, after careful and thorough analysis, the possibility of an organizational effort is highly unlikely, then the employer is probably not safe to address the issue of unionization.
On the other hand, if competitors had an activity recent works union, if the company is in an industry where unions representing other companies or association activities exist in the geographic region, address should not ignore the problem, but they are. Asked unions immediately become a necessity, if the Employee Free Choice Act becomes law.
Under current law, the employer has the legal right to express their views on unions and their wish that the workers are not unionized. This is one of the rights that management could lose if the employee free choice act is adopted.
If the employer decides to express his opinion against the unions, this statement should be put in writing after it is reviewed by a labor and employment attorney. Management reporting will have more impact on employees if it is in writing and not communicated by word of mouth. In addition, if the employer is still accused of having committed an unfair labor practice, the company a document that shows exactly what was said.
Once the company takes a business decision to remain union-free, is very important that every business decision member of management. It is essential that each representative of the direction of the company knows the policy and fully supports the policy. Some members of the administration may have started as employees working in a unionized environment or that some managers may be ambivalent on the issue of unions. However, any person which is an administrator in the company should know the policy and follow it, management has the absolute right to insist on the support and loyalty of all managers when it comes the issue of unionization.
The decision to remain union free and communicate this decision to each member of management is the first step all employer should take if you want to carry out their affairs without the interference of a union.
