In an organizing campaign, a union tries to persuade employees to designate the union as their collective bargaining representative.

Some campaigns are conducted openly, but many start secretly, coming to the employer's attention only when the union files a petition for an NLRB election or claims it has majority support. 

Whenever an employer learns of a union organizing campaign, knowledge of labor law and practical experience in responding to union organizing tactics become critical. Prompt and assertive action is essential to preservation of non-union status, but employers must also heed many legal restrictions in order to avoid committing potentially serious unfair labor practices. 

Properly planned and executed employer campaigns frequently succeed in defeating union organizing attempts. But employers without proper guidance may commit serious mistakes. 

The attorneys of Harris Dowell Fisher & Harris, L.C. frequently assist employers in responding to union organizing drives and preparing effective representation election campaigns.
