Experience President & CEO ~ When Losing Is NOT An Option! International Labor Relations January 2006 – Present (8 years)Hawaii Los Angeles San Francisco San Diego Denver Chicago New York Guam For the last 7+ years I have dedicated my professional career to Labor Relations Consulting. My specialty is Campaign Consulting. When a company is petitioned by the Union through the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the employees engage in an election to vote yes or no to the Union that lasts but a few short weeks. We work with the employees and the Company to ensure they maintain a direct relationship with the Company. We believe so strongly in maintaing a direct relationship, we fight for the employee's right to make a fully informed choice and don't stop until we receive a Union withdrawal or an election win. As former Executive Vice President, for the last 7+ years I have overseen a large group of Labor Consultants with a diverse set of backgrounds. Our Consultants consisted of labor attorneys, former union officials, former union organizers, and former National Labor Relations Board agents. I have personally overseen the management of hundreds of Federal cases each year with over a 91% success rating. I am now the President & CEO of International Labor Relations, a highly specialized firm. Our core belief is that employees and employers should maintain a direct relationship. This is done through positive employee relations training. Being union free is not a right. It is something the employer must earn. We are a large group of former union officials, former NLRB Board Agents, and labor attorneys who have dedicated our expertise to aggressively educate employees about the pros and cons of unionization. We work with clients from a variety of industries: agriculture, food distribution, transportation, healthcare, eldercare, gaming, communications, product distribution, security, manufacturing, hospitality, fast food, energy, shipping, and so on. We work directly with management and employees to mediate and consult on best practices. Choose International Labor Relations (www.InternationalLaborRelations.com) when losing is not an option.
