21st Century Labor Relations

Organized Labor is Back. Are You Ready?

Union organizing accelerated during 2006 as a new generation of labor groups such as Change to Win spent more than $750 million to sign up members. At the same time, AIM is fighting bills in the Massachusetts Legislature and the U.S. Congress that raise the possibility of a union representing your work force before you know it's happening! Good management is the best antidote to labor unions. Join us as AIM brings its unique blend of management experience and political insight to help your company understand the new face of organized labor and address the issues that might prompt your workers to join a union.

People who vote for a union are typically voting against their immediate supervisors and managers.

Who Should Attend:

This program is directed toward top company decision makers, including CEOs, CFOs, COOs, Vice Presidents of Human Resources and Plant/Facility Managers.

Facilitator:

Michael Rudman has spent 37 years directing labor relations for companies such as Bradlees, the Hit-or-Miss Division of TJX, Macy's and The Gap. He has negotiated contracts with the Teamsters union, the United Food & Commercial Workers, and UNITE.
