“I really enjoy attending the Council's network meetings, particularly the HR Sub-council and the EHS group.  The topics are always timely, the presenters knowledgeable and the other participants are also from manufacturing companies that face very similar issues to my company.  I never leave a meeting thinking that I wasted my time.”

Eileen Larocca,  HR  & EHS Manager, Alcoa Fastening Systems.

With the EFCA (Employee Free Choice Act) looming in Congress, now more than ever it is important to know what options employers have to keep their workforce union free. This presentation by Richard Landau from Jackson Lewis LLP, will cover the following topics:

  • How to fight organizing techniques, including corporate campaigns, neutrality agreements, and card checks
  • How you can make unions irrelevant to your employees — before the organizing starts
  • How to develop a comprehensive plan that starts working long before the union shows up
  • How to empower your supervisors to exercise their union-free rights under the law
  • How to protect your company's property rights when confronted with organizing
  • How to define the communications agenda and put the union on the defensive
  • There will be an update on the EFCA’s progress and how EFCA will effect employers
