I started my Human Resource career with JP Steven & Co and soon found myself in the middle of one of the largest union organizing battles in the South. I was on the front line during a time when the union, by order of the court, was allowed on company property to make captive audience speeches to Steven’s employees during the campaign. Yet, employees at this JP Stevens plant said NO to the union.
After five years of the most rigorous, hands on union avoidance exposure one could experience, I joined the HR staff at Clark Equipment Company’s new transmission plant in Rockingham, NC. Clark had a long history of living with unions in Michigan but had a strong desire to keep its new Rockingham Plant union free. The Steelworkers Union had a different idea and soon began a union organizing drive at the plant. For the next two years I was the chief company spokesperson and campaign manager for Clark’s effort to keep the union out of its new plant. The union was defeated by a vote of 355 to 249.
In 1978 I joined the staff of Capital Associated Industries and for the next 10 years assisted member companies in staying union free.
In 1988 I accepted a position with Piedmont Associated Industries as Vice President of Training.
In August 1990 I retuned to private industry as Vice President of Human Resource for Kao Specialties Americas LLC a subsidiary of Kao Corporation, a major International Chemical company based in Tokyo Japan.
A final thought: The best fight is the one you never have! The way not to have it is to prepare now.
