Strikes are not “business-as-usual” environments
Established long-term relationships with your workforce can be turned upside down during a labor dispute. Union workers, who under normal circumstances are valued employees, become adversaries who often will attempt to use any and all means they can disrupt operations and attack the reputation of the company if they believe it will help them achieve their goals.
Add to that, with tools such as social media and a global audience at their disposal, strikers have the ability to capture and disseminate potentially compromising audio and video images in an instant at the push of a button.
In this complex environment, it is essential that you maintain leverage and avoid costly charges of unfair labor practices, and be prepared to legally document verifiable union violations that can be used in court to your advantage.
This is where MADI Protection comes in.
