Do your palms sweat before talking with your Business Agent? Try this…
| “Thank God they didn’t hand this out to supervisors at my shop. It would have made me totally ineffective.” That’s what a former UAW Steward said about this “secret weapon” – but I’m getting ahead of myself.
Is your company trapped in an unproductive relationship with your union? Chances are, you’ve experienced the following:

Supervisors who don’t know these strategies are killing your business.
Untrained managers destroy hard-won gains at the bargaining table. It happens in a heartbeat. They unwittingly create costly past practices that erode your contract and kill your business.
The bottom line: an improved relationship with your union can increase profits. An average arbitration case costs a company more than $15,000 in legal fees, lost time and productivity.
The key to avoid these costly arbitrations and protect your bargaining gains is to train your supervisors.
With this “secret weapon” your managers will learn:
- An almost magic, little-known way to make even the most hard-nosed union rep want to work with you. This tactic works especially well with “hard case” business agents (who many times actually want to work with you).
- What your union rep is afraid to admit that is costing your business a fortune each year.
- How to discipline problem employees by proving you have “just cause” – without a visit to an arbitrator.
- Settle a grievance fast using this trick from a former Chicago union official.
Managing the Union Shop is an easy-to-read guide that fits in a pocket and is written in non-technical language. Each copy normally sells for $10, but I’m offering it to you for FREE today. Let me explain why…
Will you help me win a “friendly wager” with a former union steward?
Why am I making this offer? To win a bet.
One of my consultants, Eric, used to be a steward and bargaining committee Chairman at a local UAW shop. One day he was poking around my office and picked up a copy of Managing the Union Shop. I told him to take it. “Maybe you’ll learn something,” I joked.
The next day Eric walked in and said, “Thank God our managers didn’t have a copy of that book or we’d never get away with anything. It would have made me totally ineffective.” He kept mentioning it over the next week.
Finally I said, “You really like that book, don’t you?” Eric replied, “Yeah, it’s great. Too bad you’ll have to throw them all out. They’ve got the wrong phone number on them.”
Eric was right. This batch of books (there are 372 left) has an old phone number listed. Other than that they are in perfect shape. So I told Eric, “I’ll bet you $100 that I can get 372 requests for those ‘defective’ books.” That’s where you come in.
Do you think I can reach 372 supervisors?
Will you help me win my bet with Eric? Call our correct phone number (800-888-9115) or add it to your cart and request a copy of the ‘defective’ book. Get as many as you want – most companies get one for each supervisor – so long as you don’t mind the sticker with the corrected phone number on them.
There is no charge for the books (you only pay shipping and handling). As soon as I run out I’ll take the offer off the website and the regular $10 per copy price goes back into effect.
Order one for every front-line manager and supervisor. With this basic information at their fingertips, your managers & supervisors are armed to avoid bad past practice and create favorable past practice – saving you potentially thousands of dollars. I look forward to helping you make that happen.
Sincerely,
