About the Program

As union activity continues to rise across Washington state and the nation, driven by a younger generation of workers, employers must stay informed and proactive. This 30-minute session is designed specifically for HR leaders, business owners, and managers of non-unionized workplaces who want to understand the current labor landscape—and how to navigate it legally and effectively.

The session covers:

  • The latest unionization trends in Washington and nationally, and which industries are particularly ripe for union activity
  • Key NLRB rulings and what they mean for your workplace
  • Common risk factors that can lead to union organizing
  • Practical steps to build a culture of trust, transparency, and compliance
  • What managers should (and shouldn’t) say about unions
