How We See It
If you're an employer, chances are your opinion of unions is not very positive - because union activity can signify problems. Well here's a different point of view. We can help you deal with union issues and challenges before they become significant problems with costly legal implications. Whether your company is non-union or union, our quick, decisive and aggressive tactics help you prevent or manage union activity - turning potential problems into improved productivity.
Union-Free
An employer cannot lose an election that never happens. This is one of the guiding principles of our program to keep unions out of your company. We use preventive strategies to help ensure that your union-free environment stays that way.
Through a combination of our legal capabilities and professional human resources experience, we offer services that will promote positive employee relations and make unions unnecessary. We have an entire department designed to serve this need - our Human Resources Management Group. Programs include training and development, assistance with policy design and implementation, and employee surveys that measure the level of employee satisfaction and how yours may feel about union activity. We are pro-employee, not anti-union. By creating a satisfying, productive work place that meets employee needs, you reduce the employees' perceived need for a union.
If you are faced with a union organizing campaign, Millisor & Nobil responds aggressively and immediately. In some cases, early communication with your employees can result in a union withdrawal before the election takes place. Before you've spent a lot of time and money.
As a firm, we pool our legal and non-legal professional resources to develop strategies and solutions. We advise and assist you with all phases of the campaign, including speeches, letters, posters, meetings and representation before the National Labor Relations Board or State Employment Relations Board. The result is a comprehensive campaign designed to keep your business profitable and union-free.
Union
When A Union is Already in Place. Whether you are a non-union or union company, you need to manage your labor relations, not just react to them. This is especially important in a union environment where proper management will allow you to control your business and continue to work toward improved productivity and performance.
Collective Bargaining. Our approach to negotiations is to problem-solve; we are tough but not overly confrontational. We can develop solutions while preserving the relationship between you and the union.
Administering the Contract. This on-going process includes assistance with interpretation and implementation, ensuring that any action you take, such as layoffs, promotions or discipline, is in compliance with the contract. Our goal is to work with you to reasonably and legally achieve your objectives.
Grievance and Arbitration. If a grievance is filed, we can help you gather information, develop a response and meet with the union on your behalf. Based on a thorough investigation and the presentation of evidence, the grievance can often be quickly resolved. If it is not resolved and goes to arbitration, we will assist you every step of the way; researching and selecting the arbitrator, preparing witnesses, gathering documents, representing you at the hearing, and filing a post-hearing brief.
Look closely and you'll see a law firm that takes active steps to
manage union activity. From prevention to arbitration, we work toward
accomplishing your goals. In addition, we offer services to supplement
your Human Resources department. We also consider all ramifications
of your actions to ensure compliance not only with your contract,
but with state and federal labor laws as well. By taking extra steps
and delivering results, Millisor & Nobil helps you make a difference.
