Reclaiming “Union-Free” Status

Many employers wrongly believe that decertifying a union was impossible or unlikely. Not the case ... while the opportunities to reclaim a union-free status are not always easy and the road to achieving that goal has some inherent risks, decertification can become a reality. PeopleWorks is highly skilled at assisting employers in assessing their options as they consider the challenging opportunities related to decertification.

We offer our clients an explicit decertification blueprint for returning an organization to its “union-free” status without violating the National Labor Relations Act. We can help you make the positive cultural changes
necessary that render unions irrelevant and unnecessary from the perspective of your employees. Then we can help you to prepare for and win a decertification election.
