Union Avoidance
Let's face it - almost all employers who don't have a union would prefer to keep it that way. But remaining union-free can mean performing a delicate balancing act for employers between speaking their minds and not running afoul of labour laws that can result in automatic union certification.
Our internal training sessions for managers and supervisors have proven effective in helping employers stay union-free. We also assist employers in planning communications strategies that present the case to employees to remain union free, but do not go over the legal line.
When employers receive a union application for certification, we also navigate them through the Labour Relations Board's procedures as well as assisting with the campaign to persuade employees to vote "no" to the union. The reality is that unions play "hardball" in their organizing campaigns. When faced with one, employers need the kind of strong and knowledgable legal representation that Stringer LLP provides.
