CASE EXAMPLE
A manufacturing company and the union representing its employees sought to improve their relationship. They wanted to identify areas of common interests that were strengths, and leverage the strengths for improved operating efficiencies. They retained BRD Solutions to facilitate the process. Bob Courson was able to apply his expertise in establishing productive labor relations and developing self-directed workforces; he supported the parties as they came to understand each other's needs and moved to new productive ground. Together, management and the union continue to make progress in transforming their organization.
