February 15, 2022: Union Organizing in the Era of COVID-19 and the New NLRB: Effective Strategies for a Vastly Different Playing Field
Union organizing has officially entered uncharted territory. Never since the passage of the National Labor Relations Act has the field been tilted so transparently in favor of unions. These developments are occurring just as businesses are learning how to operate in a new, challenging environment that involves a mixture of COVID recovery, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and social and political justice concerns. Contemporary issues such as health and safety policies, mandatory vaccinations, masking requirements, telework, diversity, business ethics, leave allowances, technological changes, job training, and severance pay have become rallying calls for union organizing, alongside traditional issues such as wage increases, healthcare coverage, pensions, scheduling and seniority. With companies finding it difficult to attract and retain employees, and unions leveraging the moment to weaponize employee uncertainty, the climate for organizing is more favorable than it has been in decades. How will your company respond? We look forward to that discussion in this session.
