Occasionally, union-represented employees become dissatisfied with the union representing them. When this happens employees may consider efforts to "de-certify" the union.
Federal law severely restricts what employers can do in these situations. However, while the law prohibits employers from instigating decertification efforts, once employees have launched an effort of their own, management is free to communicate with employees and share their views.
Chessboard Consulting offers services to support an employer's efforts to protect their employee's rights and legally communicate their position during decertification attempts. As always, Chessboard's approach emphasizes an "educational" fact-based approach that encourages employees to make an "informed choice."
As with our other service offerings, the objective is always to increase understanding and communication between leadership and employees in the voting unit. We have found that this approach yields a much more positive result and can help form the basis of a new relationship between employees and leadership.
