How Eye in the Sky works

Three steps to a clear read on your backyard.

1

Tell us your locations

Give us the zip codes for your facilities, distribution centers, and the competitor sites you want to watch. No software to install.

2

We scan the NLRB

We monitor new petitions and charges filed near each location, filtered to your industry and the unions active in your space, and flag what matches your profile.

3

You get a clear report

A focused summary per location, with filing dates, unions, and distance from your door, so you can tell a routine filing from a real signal at a glance.

Confidential · What you monitor is private to you · Nothing you track is visible to the employers or unions in your reports

The cost of surprise

The hard part is rarely the response. It's the surprise.

By the time a campaign is visible enough to notice, the choices are bad and the costs are steep. Weeks of disruption. Hundreds of thousands in fees. An outcome that's no longer in your hands.

The employers who come through these moments best aren't the ones who reacted fastest. They're the ones who saw the activity taking shape early enough to get ready.

You can't prepare for what you can't see. The earlier you spot activity forming, at a competitor down the road or a similar employer across the region, the more time you have to make yourself a hard target.

That's what Eye in the Sky is built to do: watch the ground around your facilities so the first sign of a campaign isn't a petition on your desk.

Left of boom

Every campaign runs on a clock. Most employers join it too late.

Organizing doesn't start the day a petition is filed. It builds for weeks or months before that, usually somewhere nearby first. The further left of the boom you see it, the more you can do about it.

Left of boomYou can still prepare. This is where Eye in the Sky works.
The boom & afterChoices are bad, costs are steep.
Stage 01

Quiet

Nothing visible to you. The free newsletter covers the industry, but not your backyard.

Stage 02

Organizing nearby

A competitor down the road, or a similar employer in your region, starts to move. Eye in the Sky flags it.

Stage 03

Cards circulating

Activity reaches your own walls. You've had weeks of warning, so you're already prepared.

The boom

Petition filed

This is where most employers find out. Cards are signed and the clock is now the NLRB's.

Stage 05

Election & aftermath

A $50K+ engagement, weeks of disruption, and an outcome no longer in your hands.

Questions, answered

What members ask before they join.

Eye in the Sky is the report: it watches NLRB activity in the zip codes around your locations and ranks them by concern. LRI Insider is the membership it comes with. For $99 a month you get Eye in the Sky for up to 20 locations, plus Activity Alerts, the Weekly Petition & ULP Report, LRIRightnow database searches, quarterly election reports, and four peer roundtables a year. Weekly delivery and coverage for 1,000+ locations are available for an additional fee.

The free report is yours with no commitment. Beyond that, Eye in the Sky isn't sold separately; it comes as part of LRI Insider, where you get the full 20-location version plus everything else for $99 a month. If you're a current Eye in the Sky subscriber, we'll move you over at your existing rate or below.

Labor Relations INK is the same big-picture industry news all 7,700+ subscribers get. Insider is the opposite: a feed filtered down to your company, your zip codes, your competitors. It's the difference between background awareness and a warning that's actually about you.

Eye in the Sky monitors NLRB filing activity within the zip codes you specify. If a union files a petition, wins an election, or files a ULP charge at any employer in your radius, you get a report. You can monitor up to 20 locations. Most members set these around their own facilities, distribution centers, and major competitor sites.

Eye in the Sky is geography-based: what's happening near your locations. Activity Alerts are entity-based: what's happening to specific companies you follow. Most members track their own company and their top competitors.

A weekly national roundup of every representation petition and unfair labor practice charge filed with the NLRB across the country. Where Eye in the Sky watches the zip codes around your facilities and Activity Alerts watch the companies you follow, this report gives you the national picture: which unions are most active, where filings are clustering, and how the landscape is shifting week to week. Members who want a faster signal can upgrade to daily activity reports for $200 a month.

The filings are public, but finding the ones that matter to you is the hard part. We monitor every NLRB region continuously, match filings to the zip codes around your facilities and the companies you track, and push them to you the moment they appear. Doing that yourself means checking multiple government sources daily and knowing how to read them. We turn that into an alert in your inbox, with 30+ years of LRIRightnow context so you know whether a filing is routine or a real signal.

A petition naming your own company is late, and that surprise is exactly what we help you avoid. The early signal comes from what's happening around you: organizing at a competitor down the road, a union winning at a similar employer in your region, a pattern of filings building in your industry. Eye in the Sky surfaces that while it's still forming miles away. Read the weather before the storm is on top of you.

Yes, it's confidential. Your subscription, the locations and competitors you track, and the searches you run are private to you. We don't publish member lists, and nothing you monitor is visible to the employers or unions in your reports. The Roundtables work the same way, under Chatham House rules.

Quiet is information too. When nothing is moving in your area, that's the confirmation you want, and you still get the database searches, the Weekly Petition & ULP Report, the quarterly benchmarking, and the roundtables. The point of an early-warning system is that it's running before you need it. By the time activity shows up, it's too late to start monitoring.

Monthly members can cancel anytime. Annual members commit for 12 months at a discounted rate, saving over $180 a year. There are no setup fees.

Yes. The primary seat is $99/month. Additional colleagues can be added as Associate members for $49/month each, including the full intelligence toolkit: LRIRightnow searches, Activity Alerts, the Weekly Petition & ULP Report, and Eye in the Sky for up to 20 of their own locations. Associate seats require an active primary membership at the same company.

Insider is an add-on to your LRIRightnow subscription, not a replacement. For $99 a month on top, you get the early-warning layer, Eye in the Sky, Activity Alerts, the Weekly Petition & ULP Report, quarterly election analysis, and four roundtables a year, plus three complimentary library searches a month against your normal billing. Current subscribers get that at their existing rate or below. Call us and we'll set it up.
