Union Environments

In addition to our traditional JustUs® Program, employers with an organized workforce are encouraged to consider our Union Call Referral (UCR) Service as a supplement.

Developed by labor attorneys, the UCR Program allows the JustUs® Program to work as a complement to the dispute resolution processes included in many collective bargaining agreements. Typical collective bargaining agreements cover issues, such as wages, hours and working conditions, which are important to employers who want their compliance to be transparent and who are committed to exceeding standards.

Organized employees can call the JustUs® HelpLine regarding issues under their bargaining agreements. A “snapshot” of the information is then referred to the appropriate union leadership. No information is disclosed to management regarding the caller’s contact, except in an annual report indicating the number of calls that were referred.

This program supports good communication among all employees to strengthen productivity and morale. It will be particularly useful for companies that are expanding, acquiring new entities or that have multiple locations.

Ultimately, the employer has the responsibility for legal compliance in the workplace, and the JustUs® UCR Program works as a gatekeeper to ensure that even union issues are properly addressed.
