Non-sworn airport staff start an organizing drive. Operations wants badge-reader logs of who talks to organizers and a captive video promising a raise if the petition dies. What should HR's strategy be?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Organizing is a siren: you can listen to why people are upset, or you can start spying and making promises. The second path is unlawful and it does not fix the schedule. Lawful talk plus real issue-fixes is the grown-up strategy.
Full Explanation
Organizing-period strategy must be lawful and issue-focused. Surveillance, interrogation, threats, and promises of benefit tied to union activity are classic unfair labor practices under applicable public- or private-sector law. Captive raise promises, badge-log spying, gag rules on protected talk, or a panic subcontract inflame the drive and create legal exposure. Senior HR keeps communications inside lawful bounds and puts the operational causes—schedule, leads, staffing—on the fix list.
