As a manager or supervisor in a unionized company, you have a unique job. Besides your daily responsibilities, you also must know about unions and basic labor law. You can be the best manager in the world. However, without a solid knowledge of the rules and responsibilities in a union shop you can get yourself - and your company - into alot of trouble. That is the purpose of this book. To give you the background you need to be an effective manager in a unionized environment.This book walks you through some of the major things you need to know about unions to be a good manager or supervisor. By the way, from now on I will refer to management or supervisory employees as "managers." No matter your actual title, you share one job. You manage labor relations in a way that lets your company meet its goals with little trouble from the union.You'll notice that this isn't like most books you have seen on how to be a good manager. It works like a labor contract! For years, most contracts were small books. Some were even designed to fit in a union steward's shirt pocket. Why? Not just to make it hard to read - although sometimes the fine print can be tough to decipher. No, the reason it is small Is so it is portable. Stewards want the contract with them always, in case they need to dispute something that pops up.Phillip B. Wilson, Esq. is President and General Counsel of Labor Relations Institute, Inc.
