Jon and Michael are joined by Phil Wilson from the Labor Relations Institute to discuss the current union organizing campaign taking place at Creature Comforts Brewing Company in Athens, Georgia by the Brewing Union of Georgia. The guys also touch on the rise of Startup labor unions, the vast and substantive differences between "union busting" and union avoidance, as well as generational shifts and upcoming work stoppages.
Union 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 should take place 24/7/365. It's smart business in how you operate and treat your employees. Your goal is to be an employer of choice for your employees and not an employer of opportunity for a labor union.
Union avoidance is proactive. It's—
🧐 Paying competitive wages and providing competitive benefits.
🧐 Having positive communication between management and employees.
🧐 Management’s openness to listen to employees and address their concerns.
🧐 Prioritizing respect in the workplace.
🧐 Fostering a workplace environment in which employees feel like they have a seat at the table.
