Although I do not own a company any more, and never did have more than four employees, I never had a good interaction with a union. I appreciate this site because it's good to know that business owners can get help in dealing with unions. I believe that in spite of some good results from union efforts in our nation's history, the bottom lien score for unions overall are about a minus-5 on a scale of minus 10 to plus 10. If I had a large company here in Florida, I'd be watching out for unions very much, because our Governor is on the make for a presidential bid, and he's a RINO. Even though our state is RTW, that can change. It is good to have a resource like the Labor Relations Institute for companies that need help, especially when our so-called President has never seen a law he won't break for his own advantage.

A true David against Goliath tale, Bego refused to roll over in the face of SEIU demands for a neutrality agreement. His desire to protect the company he started on a shoestring and grew to employ nearly 5000 workers in 33 states, lead to a corporate campaign that is still not resolved. Reading Bego’s gripping account, you will learn::

  • Why running a quality company while providing top-tier wage and benefit packages doesn’t ensure you will not be a union target.
  • The tell-tale signs that a corporate campaign is imminent.
  • The range of union tactics that you can expect in such a campaign, including
    • Confrontations & threats to your employees
    • Employee stalking
    • “Salting” of your company
    • Letters to your customers and/or suppliers detailing unprovable allegations of company impropriety.
    • Collaboration with well-meaning but misguided activist groups or high-profile third parties, such as clergy.
    • Demonstrations, protests, boycotts, handbilling and flyers.
    • Use of children as sympathy icons.
    • Filing of Unfair Labor Practice charges, OSHA violations, and other legal gambits.
  • How to turn the tables on the union – what to do, and what not to do!
