Drafting Exercise: Advising Management

Students are to assume that they are employee relations supervisors at Parton Parcel, a nationwide parcel delivery company. Presently none of Parton Parcel’s employees belong to a union. However, a national union is attempting to organize the drivers, package sorters, and desk clerks. Parton Parcel’s bosses are adamantly opposed to all unions. They want to do everything possible to defeat this union drive, including, if necessary:

- Speaking to individual workers, to let them know what management regards as the dangers of unionization, including economic harm to the company, and possible layoffs.

- Assembling all workers, in large groups, to speak against unionization, and asking all workers to declare publicly whether they intend to vote for or against the union.

- Making pay changes, both up and down, to certain workers to prove that employees are better off without a union, and may suffer if they play “too active” a role in organizing.

- Immediately laying off all desk clerks and subcontracting the work to a part-time labor force.

Students should prepare a memorandum that summarizes management’s rights during an organizing drive and responds specifically to each of the possible actions listed above
