There is a huge push to unionize small businesses, but a lot of companies wouldn’t know how to react. There is a high risk for BD companies, particularly with drivers. Focus on regulation and the impact of the NLRB. It is currently a punitive environment. Where do we stand? What have other companies done? There are class action lawsuits in CA and many states are union friendly. What are the traps set for companies? What internal training is needed? What are the trends on recreational marijuana and testing of drivers? How can companies best manage this challenge? How do we talk to our elected representatives in this new regulatory and litigant-heavy environment? What are the overall trends?
