5. Day One:
Winning The Battle To Stay
Union-Free
Learn how to preempt and defeat labor’s latest organizing tactics!
8:30 - 9:00 Continental Breakfast and Registration
9:00 - 10:15 Big Labor Has a Plan for Your Organization (Are you Prepared?)
With overwhelming majorities in Congress and an ideological progressive in the White House,
Organized Labor is armed for battle – and has committed millions to aggressive new organizing
efforts. The continuing disruption of our economy is creating “targets of opportunity,” ready for
easy exploitation. Learn how to prepare for the impending EFCA-empowered onslaught, and
defend your union-free status.
10:15 - 10:30 Coffee Break
10:30 - Noon The Changing Rules of Engagement: the NLRB Under Obama
Change has come to Washington, DC – and for employers, it’s not the good kind. The
unholy alliance of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid is focused on reshaping the labor landscape,
including the NLRB and Department of Labor. The impact will be huge. Are you prepared?
Noon - 1:15 Morning Summary and Networking Luncheon
1:15 - 2:15 The Impending EFCA-Shaped Battlefield: How to Recognize –
and Defeat – Labor’s Newest Organizing Strategies
With or without “card-check,” the Employee Free Choice Act is destined for passage, including
a compulsory binding arbitration provision which will strip employers and workers of basic
rights. Exploiting the resulting unrest, unions will increase both overt and covert efforts to achieve
recognition, including using the Internet for direct contact with your employees – without your
knowledge! Learn how to detect and combat these new emerging organizing strategies.
2:15 - 2:45 Defusing Workplace Issues: How to Respond to the Changing
Job Environment
Unions have a sales pitch to suit every season. When the economy was hot, unions catered to
employee desires to balance work and family demands. Now, as the recession and layoffs continue,
unions appeal directly to employees’ concerns about job security. As companies retrench, employees
increasingly will look to unions for “help.” Organizing efforts thrive where employers are not
aware of – or fail to respond to – evolving workplace challenges. Don’t open the door to union
intervention or litigation that could severely impact your bottom line.
2:45 - 3:00 Coffee Break
3:00 - 4:30 Union-Proofing: Proven Strategies for Remaining Union-FREE
Communication is the key. Learn time-tested strategies to facilitate positive and direct
dialogue with your employees. Understand how to establish workplace committees that will
pass even pro-Labor NLRB scrutiny. Build trust and respect to marginalize Labor’s “Us vs.
Them” credo. Develop 2-way communication programs and train supervisors to listen to what
employees say.
4:30 Day One Summary, Q & A Period, and Social Hour

6. Day Two:
Containing (or Removing)
Your Union
Already unionized? Learn how to prevail and prosper!
8:30 - 9:00 Continental Breakfast and Registration
9:00 - 10:15 The Union Won: Now What Do You Do?
Lost the certification election? Start to prepare for the next battle by assessing – and redressing –
the issues the union campaigned on. Learn how to evaluate the union’s strengths and weaknesses
and assess your own vulnerabilities. Lay the foundation for a counterattack by establishing
workplace procedures to attract – and retain – motivated, pro-Company employees. Learn the
newest, most effective "direct-dealing" strategies to accomplish these goals.
10:15 - 10:30 Coffee Break
10:30 - 11:30 The Collective Bargaining Process: How to Make It
Work for You
What are the limits of the bargaining obligation? What is a bargaining impasse? What can
you tell employees about the status of negotiations? What is a “final offer” and when can it be
unilaterally implemented? How can a strong “management rights” clause help your business?
What innovative bargaining proposals are other employers making to improve their positions?
The collective bargaining process can work for you.
11:30 - Noon Preserving the Right to Make Entrepreneurial Decisions:
Minimizing the Impact of Unions and the NLRB
A union contract need not be a straightjacket preventing you from making important
business decisions. The NLRB need not be a roadblock to transforming your business to meet
the challenges of the 21st century. Despite recent union propaganda and apparently restrictive
NLRB decisions, employers can make entrepreneurial choices without interference.
Noon - 1:15 Morning Summary and Networking Luncheon
1:15 - 2:00 Cutting Out the Middle Man: How to Restore the
Employer/Employee Paradigm
Who tells your employees about important workplace issues? Who do your employees believe
is looking out for their interests? If you cannot unequivocally answer “the company,” then you
are setting yourself up for trouble. To win your employees’ trust, you must be perceived as the
source of information and respect. Don’t let the union do your talking for you.
2:00 - 3:00 The Rules of Engagement: What You Need to Know About
the NLRB and Deunionization
The union relationship need not be a permanent fixture of the employment landscape. There
are several strategies to test the mettle of an incumbent union. Learn about decertification, employee
polling, de-authorization, and the employer’s ultimate weapon, unilateral withdrawal of recognition.
3:00 - 3:15 Coffee Break
3:15 - 4:30 Blueprint for DECERTIFICATION: Turning an Impossible
Dream Into Reality
The opportunities to reclaim union-FREE status are rare, but Steve Cabot, one of North
America’s most effective decertification authorities, will offer an explicit blueprint for achieving
just such a result without running afoul of the NLRB’s myriad rules and regulations. Learn how
to prepare a workplace environment conducive to decertification, and then how to prepare for,
conduct, and WIN a decertification election. PLUS: Pulling the plug on your union WITHOUT
an election – using the newest "withdrawal of recognition" techniques.
