Assume that you are the proprietor of a well-established business that manufactures specialty castings for a variety of upstream customers. You employ a total of 250 full time employees from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. 215 of your employees are skilled blue-collar workers from varying generations; and the remaining 35 employees are administrative and support personnel. You average about 5% turnover each year and your employees are non unionized. One morning upon arriving at your office you are approached by a trusted employee that quietly informs you that union authorization cards are being actively distributed within your company by several other employees—one of which is an exempt (salaried) supervisor. Your position as CEO is ‘pro-company’; you do not want unionized labor within your company. Based on what you know so far (above) what do you do next? What more would you want to know? How do you respond?
