Frequently Asked Questions
Does mentioning "union" invite trouble?
It’s natural for employers to wonder about discussing union-related topics openly. However, today’s employees are well-informed about their workplace rights. EG helps you proactively foster trust, fairness, and open communication. By choosing transparency, employers address employee concerns early, creating a stable workplace environment for all.
How do employees view EGU?
Employees today value security, fairness, and respect. EG provides clear protections and advocacy, addressing the real issues employees care about. We don’t organize strikes or pickets. Instead, we ensure fairness and support, which helps employees feel secure without workplace disruptions. Employees generally have a very positive response to learning about how EG membership can be a benefit to them.
Is staying silent on union topics safer?
EG is not a traditional union and does not collectively bargain. In fact, employers partner with EG as a means of making employees feel more appreciated, without bargaining over company policy. Silence doesn’t eliminate workplace concerns; it merely delays addressing them. Proactively choosing EG shows employees you’re committed to transparency, fair treatment, and open dialogue. This approach significantly enhances trust and employee satisfaction, creating a positive, stable workplace environment.
Does EGU limit flexibility?
EGU introduces clear guidelines and standards for disciplinary actions, promoting fairness and transparency. While it slightly modifies absolute “at-will” employment practices, these guidelines ultimately benefit both employees and employers by reducing misunderstandings, conflict, and costly litigation.
Can't companies handle fairness internally?
While internal fairness programs are important, employees appreciate independent assurance from a third party. EGU offers external credibility, demonstrating genuine employer commitment to fair and equitable workplace practices. Employees trust third-party accountability, increasing confidence in company initiatives.
