EFCA Update: Pre-empting the Union Message

Course Description:

EFCA?  No worries, your workers are happy -- so, there’s no need for union representation, right?  Think again.

Passage of the Employee Free Choice Act would make it legal for workers to start a union without a secret-ballot election.  In fact, under the legislation workers only need a majority of employees to sign cards saying they support a union for the union to be formed.

The bill could also mandate binding arbitration to set wages, benefits and working conditions, if an employer and union cannot agree on a contract within 120 days. 

But whether EFCA itself passes or not, in this pro-employee environment it’s better to be prepared.  In fact, according to industry experts HR needs to take a much more urgent tone, making the EFCA issue their "No. 1 priority."

So what should your organization do now to prepare for EFCA and pre-empt the union message?  In this must-attend CCM audio conference, you’ll learn:

• Steps you need to take immediately to prepare for a post-EFCA environment,
• How to identify key areas where you can improve your work environment so employees won’t feel a union is necessary, and
• Best practice strategies to counter card signing campaigns.

During this critical session, you’ll also learn:

• What are the proposed changes found in the EFCA
• Which aspects are most likely to become law – and what may be left by the wayside
• What your organization needs to do to create an issue-free environment
• Effective communication techniques to educate your employees to your organization’s policies
• What training programs for supervisors need to include to avoid new or increased penalties under EFCA
• Congressional update on EFCA and other pending pro-employee legislation, including:
  1. RESPECT Act: Creates divided loyalties among front-line supervisors and their employees, changes the dual functions of the national labor policy, and will likely trigger an explosion of litigation.
  2. Working Families Flexibility Act:
     1. Employees get the opportunity to modify their work hours, schedule, or work location.
     2. Employees gain a right to a representative of their own choosing at certain meetings.
     3. Employers face potential civil fines of up to $5,000 per violation.
  3. Patriot Employers Act: How employers could gain a tax break under this proposed legislation
