Help Us Build Better Labor Relations Data (Union Facilities)

Where Does Your Union Facility Really Rank?

If your company has unionized locations, here is the question almost no one can answer with confidence: Where do you rank on labor relations performance?

At the Fortune 500 level, labor departments track everything. Grievance resolution rates. Arbitration velocity. Legal spend ratios. Contract administration workloads. They know exactly where they stand.

Mid-market employers? They are usually guessing. And guessing is not a strategy.

We are fixing that problem by building the first comprehensive labor relations performance database. But we need your help. To make the benchmarks real and useful, we need data from union facilities across industries and across regions.

What You Get For Participating

Everyone who completes the confidential seven-minute survey receives the complete Managing the Union Shop Toolkit:

The 7 Tests of Just Cause Decision Flowchart
The 6 Step Grievance Investigation Cheat Sheet
The Union Steward Communication Playbook, including ten ready to use supervisor scripts
Plus a signed copy of Managing the Union Shop if you want one. You can request it at the end of the survey.

What You Will Receive When We Hit 500 Responses

Once the data set is large enough to support reliable benchmarking, you will receive a custom report that includes:

Your percentile ranking across five core labor relations performance categories
A side by side comparison with top performing facilities
Industry specific insights for your sector
A list of targeted gaps and recommended improvements

This is the type of visibility large employers already use to get ahead of issues. Our goal is to make that level of intelligence available to everyone.
