If your company has unionized locations, I have a quick question: Where do you rank on labor relations performance?
Fortune 500 companies with unionized facilities have internal labor relations teams that constantly track metrics—grievance resolution rates, arbitration frequency, legal spend ratios. They know where they stand.
Mid-market companies? Mostly guessing.
We're fixing that problem by building the first comprehensive labor relations performance database. But we need your help—we need data from union facilities like yours.
Here's what happens when you participate:
Take our 7-minute survey about your labor relations metrics (completely confidential).
You automatically receive the Managing the Union Shop Toolkit, including:
7 Tests of Just Cause Decision Flowchart
6-Step Grievance Investigation Cheat Sheet
Union Steward Communication Playbook (including scripts), your supervisors can use for handling the 10 most common steward interactions
Plus: A signed copy of the Managing the Union Shop book (if you want it—just request when you complete the survey).
When we hit 500+ responses, you'll receive your customized benchmark report, including:
Your exact percentile ranking across 5 categories
Side-by-side comparison with top performers
Industry-specific insights for your sector
Specific gaps and improvement recommendations
You can complete the 7-minute survey here: BENCHMARK SURVEY
Please help us build better industry intelligence. Every union facility that participates helps create the kind of performance visibility that the big companies already enjoy.
Thanks! The Labor Relations Institute Benchmarking Team.
P.S. Are you a Fortune 500 labor department? We’d love to hear from you, too! Your data is just as important for setting the benchmark data!
