Duration: 90 minutes

While everyone's attention is drawn to Occupy Wall Street, economic woes and the political campaign season, organized labor is pulling a fast one.

With unprecedented cover from today's strongly pro-labor NLRB, unions are ramping up their organizing tactics -- including lies that can prove irrestible to gullible employees.

Their target: Service operations and small business units that never imagined they'd deal with a trade union. Lies, distortions and manipulative tactics from a bygone area are finding new life in these previously unmolested hunting grounds.

Recent decisions and pending rules from the NLBR:

  • Increase the potential for "micro-unions" in nursing homes, or for smaller bargaining units in larger companies
  • Limit the election period to as little as 10 days, making it even harder for managers to communicate the truth to targeted workers
  • Narrow the "advice exception" and thereby limit training and communication to educate workers about union realities

    There has not been a better time in recent union history to revive lies like these:

    Lie # 1 -- "Unions give employees power, freedom, dignity..."

    Lie # 5 -- "Signing a union card is no big deal..."

    Lie # 9 -- "Union employees get better pay and benefits..."

    During this 90 minute webinar you will learn:

    • Identifying union lies and traps
    • Empowering your supervisors to exercise their union-free rights under the law
    • Developing a comprehensive plan that starts working long before the union shows up
    • How to put the union on the defensive with a solid communications plan

    BONUS MATERIALS:Participants will receive a recorded copy of the presentation and complimentary policy materials.
