8:30 - 9:00 Continental Breakfast and Registration

9:00 - 10:15 Big Labor Has a Plan for Your Organization (Are you Prepared?)

With overwhelming majorities in Congress and an ideological progressive in the White House,Organized Labor is armed for battle – and has committed millions to aggressive new organizingefforts. The continuing disruption of our economy is creating “targets of opportunity,” ready foreasy exploitation. Learn how to prepare for the impending EFCA-empowered onslaught, anddefend your union-free status.

10:15 - 10:30 Coffee Break

10:30 - Noon The Changing Rules of Engagement: the NLRB Under Obama

Change has come to Washington, DC – and for employers, it’s not the good kind. The unholy alliance of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid is focused on reshaping the labor landscape,including the NLRB and Department of Labor. The impact will be huge. Are you prepared?

Noon - 1:15 Morning Summary and Networking Luncheon

1:15 - 2:15 The Impending EFCA-Shaped Battlefield: How to Recognize –and Defeat – Labor’s Newest Organizing Strategies

With or without “card-check,” the Employee Free Choice Act is destined for passage, includinga compulsory binding arbitration provision which will strip employers and workers of basicrights. Exploiting the resulting unrest, unions will increase both overt and covert efforts to achieverecognition, including using the Internet for direct contact with your employees – without yourknowledge! Learn how to detect and combat these new emerging organizing strategies.

2:15 - 2:45 Defusing Workplace Issues: How to Respond to the Changing Job Environment

Unions have a sales pitch to suit every season. When the economy was hot, unions catered toemployee desires to balance work and family demands. Now, as the recession and layoffs continue,unions appeal directly to employees’ concerns about job security. As companies retrench, employeesincreasingly will look to unions for “help.” Organizing efforts thrive where employers are notaware of – or fail to respond to – evolving workplace challenges. Don’t open the door to unionintervention or litigation that could severely impact your bottom line.

2:45 - 3:00 Coffee Break

3:00 - 4:30 Union-Proofing: Proven Strategies for Remaining Union-FREE

Communication is the key. Learn time-tested strategies to facilitate positive and directdialogue with your employees. Understand how to establish workplace committees that willpass even pro-Labor NLRB scrutiny. Build trust and respect to marginalize Labor’s “Us vs.Them” credo.

8:30 - 9:00 Continental Breakfast and Registration

9:00 - 10:15 The Union Won: Now What Do You Do?

Learn how to evaluate the union’s strengths and weaknessesand assess your own vulnerabilities. Lay the foundation for a counterattack by establishingworkplace procedures to attract – and retain – motivated, pro-Company employees. Learn thenewest, most effective "direct-dealing" strategies to accomplish these goals.

10:15 - 10:30 Coffee Break

10:30 - 11:30 The Collective Bargaining Process: How to Make ItWork for You

What are the limits of the bargaining obligation? What is a bargaining impasse? What canyou tell employees about the status of negotiations? What is a “final offer” and when can it beunilaterally implemented? How can a strong “management rights” clause help your business?What innovative bargaining proposals are other employers making to improve their positions?The collective bargaining process can work for you.

11:30 - Noon Preserving the Right to Make Entrepreneurial Decisions:Minimizing the Impact of Unions and the NLRB

A union contract need not be a straightjacket preventing you from making important business decisions.

Despite recent union propaganda and apparently restrictiveNLRB decisions, employers can make entrepreneurial choices without interference.

Noon - 1:15 Morning Summary and Networking Luncheon

1:15 - 2:00 Cutting Out the Middle Man: How to Restore the Employer/Employee Paradigm

Who tells your employees about important workplace issues? Who do your employees believeis looking out for their interests? If you cannot unequivocally answer “the company,” then youare setting yourself up for trouble. To win your employees’ trust, you must be perceived as thesource of information and respect. Don’t let the union do your talking for you.

2:00 - 3:00 The Rules of Engagement: What You Need to Know About the NLRB and Deunionization

The union relationship need not be a permanent fixture of the employment landscape. Thereare several strategies to test the mettle of an incumbent union. Learn about decertification, employeepolling, de-authorization, and the employer’s ultimate weapon, unilateral withdrawal of recognition.

3:00 - 3:15 Coffee Break

3:15 - 4:30 Blueprint for DECERTIFICATION: Turning an Impossible Dream Into Reality

The opportunities to reclaim union-FREE status are rare, but Steve Cabot, one of NorthAmerica’s most effective decertification authorities, will offer an explicit blueprint for achievingjust such a result without running afoul of the NLRB’s myriad rules and regulations.
