Elle,
I saw your post this morning, after I had met with my council yesterday. I am meeting with them again on Tuesday morning, after the card signing they are having Monday.
I will ask him about your advice, and toss that into the stew as well. I appreciate any and all input.
I wish I had seen your post before leaving yesterday, I would have inquired about it then.
It is going to be a long weekend. One of those weekends where I am glad I quit drinking years ago.
Thanks again :)
.... and with a stroke of the pen you have no employees so you don't have to let the "organizers" on your property or even speak with the union rep
Incorporating is a paper game and you can cookie cutter several leasing firms and open and close them as you drive them crazy ...
You can simply explain to the shop that as of Monday you're going to enter into a labor leasing agreement
You don't have to explain at all but you can just tell people in the office (who love to spread gossip) that you are making the move for better group insurance rates and to eliminate the hassle and paperwork associated with payroll
In essence the labor leasing company becomes an arms length hiring hall and you can pick and choose your employees
let them start making application to the labor leasing companies as you hire one company or another to provide labor for each different job or for time periods if the job is a big one
you can cover any cost by reducing the wage and when the union bug is out of them you can hire the grateful back whom you choose
In these times one round should have them see the light
You might want to allow the fact to leak out this weekend that you intend to lease your labor as of the beginning of next month
It's a great attitude adjuster
