Labour Unrest and Contingency Planning (Canada ) Date: Tuesday, September 14, 2021    |    Time: 1:15pm - 2:15pm EST    |    Cost: FREE

Webinar Overview As business returns to normal and we recover from the pandemic, many firms are faced with challenging labour negotiations. Workers that were deemed essential during the pandemic are seeking significant gains. The labour market is tight, with most employers struggling to fill vacant positions. This has created the perfect storm. In addition, unions and management are reaching tentative agreements, only to have their members reject the contract at the ratification vote. This has created an environment where unions now sense it is time to recover past concessions. Having a contingency plan will mitigate your risk and ensure you are able to continue business as usual and provide your labour relations team with the confidence needed to work through challenges during bargaining. Topics Will Include Why do you need a plan What elements need to be captured in your plan Operations Security Human Resources Contingent Workers - staffing Transportation Logistical support Importance of timelines - how your plan can be used to create conditions to aid negotiations Phased implementations of the plan What is a picket line protocol - pitfalls and benefits What evidence you will need if illegal picketing occurs What is an injunction, and what to do if it is ignored How to deal with secondary picketing Law enforcement and their role - why the police won't remove pickets Current tactics being deployed by unions at picket lines Communications - how social media is used as a weapon to target your brand and executives Who Should Attend Corporate Security Human Resources Labour/Employee Relations Legal Emergency Management/Business Continuity Staff Corporate Communications Those who attend the webinar will be provided with a complete complementary set of planning tools, along with access to a risk mitigation professional to guide you through the planning process.
