Abstract
An examination of the phases of a union organizing effort as well as the decisions faced by management and labor during a union campaign helps both avoid serious strategic and legal mistakes. Company resistance to unions usually emphasizes the company''s own merits or the drawbacks of the union in question, while unions base their appeals on management shortcomings, particularly regarding compensation, job security, poor management, and worker control. Momentum and timing are essential elements of well-organized campaigns. An understanding of the merits of the NLRB election process helps labor and management to prepare for a union-organizing drive.
