Often the management team of a unionized facility initially tells us that their environment is different since a contract has just been negotiated or they have more rules than a non-unionized facility. While a unionized facility does have some unique challenges, it often just requires a more rigorous and focused approach to implement the savings. Additionally, with our extensive communication and feedback from the employees we can often negotiate a side agreement where the business and employees both get new flexibilities they want.

Core Practice Partners can also assist you in your negotiations process. By
studying and then quantifying cost savings opportunities, a Negotiation Manual
can help your team decide which contract articles are critical to position your
facility for the future and which areas can be traded to achieve this flexibility.
You can sit down at the table knowing that giving the union a $200,000
adjustment in overtime will unlock almost a $1,000,000 in better matching the
workload.
