Your Employees are Organizing a Union

Managers and supervisors find having to manage employees that are not represented quite challenging. Such managers, when they are oblivious to the signs of an upcoming union, fail to see that it can develop into something very big, which could eventually harm the organization in a number of ways.
As those who run organizations, managers and supervisors should have the ability to foresee the birth of a union. This should happen, ideally, before a union gets the appropriate number of signed Authorization Cards which allows the NLRB to conduct a secret election. Not for nothing is it said that from the management’s perspective, the election that is never held is the ideal one.
Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance and human resources, will, at a webinar that it is organizing on October 16, explain how to gauge signs of the creation of an impending employee union.

At this webinar, the expert will show not one or two, but as many as 20 signs to look for, which display hints of the formation of a union. No law forbids employees from forming one; it is only the clandestine ones that need to be checked in advance. Unions have to meet the guidelines set out by the regulatory agencies if they are to be deemed as legal.
Some of the issues addressed at this session include what you can and cannot do, guidelines of good management, dangers of signing the Authorization Card, the NLRB election, and unfair labor practices committed by Managers. This knowledge will help managers become better aware of how to foresee the formation of the union and act in a proper and legal way before it is too late. This can result in massive savings for the organization.
Gerry will offer understanding of these among other areas at this webinar:
  • Initial warning signs of union organizing
  • What you can do and what you cannot do
  • The dangers of your employees signing an Authorization Card
  • Unfair labor practices your managers may commit
  • The NLRB election and its intricacies
  • Tips, tactics and techniques of union organizing
  • Guidelines of good management.
This webinar will benefit these among other personnel: Managers, Supervisors, Directors, Vice Presidents, or any member of the management team with responsibility of managing or interacting with non-represented employees.

Fashion industry ‘waking up’ to benefits of blockchain technology, robotics

Blockchain and robotics are becoming increasingly popular in the global fashion industry as brands look to increase transparency and improve efficiencies, according to GlobalData. While it is still in its infancy, blockchain technology has the potential to transform the global supply chain, says Michelle Russell, apparel correspondent at GlobalData. She says that during the last few years, the adoption of blockchain technology amongst apparel and textile companies has grown substantially as the pressure to have more visibility in the supply chain ramps up. “Its uses are varied as companies use the ledger to address problems in unethical behaviour, excess waste, the origin of goods, and counterfeiting.” German start-up Retraced recently launched a blockchain-based transparency solution that it is trialling with a number of fashion brands. Other examples include OpenSC which received US$4 million in seed funding for its platform that aims to build transparency around commodities know...

Introducing The Simple Way To IDENTITY ISSUES In BANKING

Identity theft is one of the foremost issues for the banking industry. It goes without saying, from an observation of any of the patterns that the fraudsters use for theft, that they are smart. They devise innovative ways to circumvent the system. For example, they don’t use their real name, address or social security numbers when logging in. They could also use stolen or vicarious identities, making investigation a lot harder to carry out. The ways of understanding these complexities will be the topic of a 60-minute webinar from Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance.

Creating Awareness About Marijuana in the Workplace - 2020

How do we handle that? Our state allows recreational marijuana. What does this mean if we have a drug-free workplace policy? The answers to these questions involve numerous factors, including but not limited to the following. The state they are in Why somebody is using it (medicinally or recreationally) How recently they used it The safety aspects of their job The company's policy on marijuana use In this training, Don will summarize the challenges faced by employers in managing employee marijuana use, explain the law addressing this subject, describe relevant marijuana testing devices, and analyze rece...
