Iro kunda: managing without
unions
It is a popular misconception that most Canadian workers belong to a
union.
In fact, just over thirty percent of employees in this country are
represented by 622 unions.
Unions are actively competing with each other for the right to represent
the remaining seventy percent of the workforce (over eight million people!).
If your business was facing six hundred competitors, you would be concerned.
You would find ways to protect your customer base.
A union is a business. You
are their competition. Your employees are potential union customers.
The odds are your
establishment will, at some point, face a union organizing campaign. Your goal
is for the union to be unsuccessful.
