Upper management can play a role, as can the top executive. However, day in and day out, the immediate supervisor is the worker's “boss.” Therefore, it is essential that the immediate supervisor conduct themselves in a manner that is consistent with the desired vision and culture of a company. When it comes to employers seeking to maintain union-free status, that vision and culture is frequently defined in terms of professionalism. Acting in a “professional manner” can yield significant dividends in creating a work environment wherein employees regard their supervisor (and, in turn, the company) as trustworthy, competent, fair, and reliable.</p>","PeriodicalId":100883,"journal":{"name":"Management Report for Nonunion Organizations","volume":"47 11","pages":"7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142429707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such pressure must be offset by their employer's efforts to prevent easily influenced employees from succumbing to the blandishments of union organizers and co-employees. Therefore, developing an effective campaign to nip card signing in the bud is crucial.
