What kinds of tactics may be used by an employer in a union organizing campaign. In your response, identify which tactics are legal and illegal?

What will be an ideal response?


Employer campaign tactics, like union tactics, try to influence the key determinants of individual voting decisions. Legal tactics include providing pro-company and antiunion information and opinions to the employees. This might be done through email, mandatory meetings, letters, and media. Employers may also legally prohibit unions from soliciting on their property as long as these rules are applied uniformly (i.e., solicitation is not allowed by anyone.) Some employers may also use delay tactics to postpone the election as long as possible in the hopes of eroding employee support. Many companies hire antiunion consultants to help them with these campaigns. In addition, illegal tactics are sometimes used. For example, employers may discharge union activists, interrogate employees in one-on-one meetings about their intentions to vote for the union, offer pay increases or improvements in the workplace, threaten employees, or layoff employees.
