Description

The Employee Free Choice Act "EFCA" may become law in the first 100 days of the new 2009 Congress. Can your organization remain Union Free under the proposed new law?

HOW TO STAY UNION FREE is a day-and-a-half program designed to help your company develop the strategies it will need to stay "union free."

The Fall Series was oversubscribed. Seating is limited!

In 2005, unions including the SEIU, UNITE HERE, UFCW, and the Teamsters left the AFL-CIO to form the new CHANGE TO WIN labor federation pledged to aggressive new organizing. Faced with this new competition, the AFL-CIO threw its support to the remaining unions further bolstering union organizing efforts nationwide. This radical reform led to the union's winning an extraordinary 60% of NLRB elections and an even greater percentage of card checks.

In 2007, a law deceptively named the Employee Free Choice Act "EFCA" passed the House of Representatives and enjoyed majority support in the Senate. It will be re-introduced in the 2009 Congress. If signed into law, it would reverse years of workplace democracy under the National Labor Relations Act mandating union recognition without an election. What are you doing now to prepare for this?

• The union organizing threat is greater than ever before
• In these economic times the stakes are higher
• No organization is free of the risk

It's a whole new battle and only those employers who know the law and the new union organizing strategies can emerge from the fight union-free.
