For over 33 years, Labor Relations Services, Inc. has been helping employers and their legal counsel win union campaigns with an unparalleled rate of success in excess of 90%.  Now, we have formulated an effective new communication strategy that assists employers and their legal counsel during the Collective Bargaining process – a strategy that firmly establishes the employer and their lead negotiator as the most credible source of information in the eyes of bargaining unit employees.

We understand that your negotiating team works diligently to protect your organizational objectives during Collective Bargaining; however, their efforts are oftentimes diminished due to a lack of consistent and lawful communications to bargaining unit employees.

Our bilingual consultants work hand-in-hand with an employer’s negotiating team to “take management’s message to the masses.”  While professional negotiators effectively advise the employer and negotiate strongly on their behalf, our team follows a carefully crafted and lawful communications campaign (approved by Executive Management and your legal counsel) that includes lawful meetings with bargaining unit employees explaining the collective bargaining process, answering employee questions, providing negotiation updates and encouraging employees to see through the “union spin.”

Our communications program may help your organization in one or more of the following ways:

• To help ensure that bargaining unit employees understand (in their own language) the “real issues” and the “real status” of negotiations, thereby improving management’s leverage at the table.
• To help ensure that the employer avoids an untimely and unnecessary strike by the union membership. This is accomplished by thoroughly educating unit employees on the bargaining issues and why the company has taken a particular position or stance on various contentious issues.  These communications are “mission critical” so that the union is less effective in “spinning the issues” and playing upon employee emotions, which could precipitate a strike.
• By directly interfacing with unit employees, we sometimes find that these employees voice a desire for decertification.  This possibility is bred by unit employees’ discontent with the process of negotiations and/or their knowledge of being misled by union leadership now and in the past.

Ultimately, the synergies attained through the combined efforts of your negotiating team and our communications specialists helps to establish the employer as the most credible source of information in the eyes of the “unit employees.”  This approach improves the overall understanding by employees of what is “really happening” at the bargaining table, which can substantively improve Management’s bargaining position.

Simply put, once a majority of unit employees become well informed, the union is oftentimes stripped of its power to mischaracterize the “real agenda” and the “real issues” discussed at the bargaining table.

If you have never considered utilizing communication specialists before, allow us to show you how our senior bilingual communication specialists can materially improve your Collective Bargaining position.  We GUARANTEE that our program will add value to your communications process or you will not be charged for our initial services or travel expenses.
