ABC
is hosting a class on the do’s and don’ts of union organizing campaign on Thursday, June 11th from 8
to 11:30 amat the Construction Industry Training Council (CITC) in Bellevue. The cost for the first attendee of an
ABCmember company is $79. Each additional attendee is $20. Nonsupervisory employees may not attend.
With summer comes an increase in union activity. Because the construction market has slowed down significantly compared to years past, union halls are full of members. This presents an opportunity for them to disrupt your business and possibly unionize it. Now is the time to train your foremen, supervisors and superintendents on what they can and can’t say when your employees are approached by a union business agent. There can be serious legal ramifications if your employees don’t react legally to this activity. This class will cover the basic “do’s and don’ts” of corporate organizing campaigns: salting, bannering, jobsite visitations by organizers, stripping of employees, setting up a “dual gate” system to minimize the impact of pickets, and more.
