Special Operation Strike Force

Labor disputes are, by design, disruptive to commerce. But they don’t have to be disastrous.

By taking action well in advance of a contract’s expiration date, the worst can be avoided. The key is knowing what steps to take and when.

Gettier Security has the expertise you need to face any possible labor dispute calmly and confidently. Established in 1987 by James R. Gettier, the Company’s Special Operations Strike Force has helped some of the nations’ largest enterprises keep their businesses running smoothly and employees and property safe during more than 1,000 strikes. This level of experience makes Gettier Security your best ally before, during and after a labor crisis.

Pre-strike planning

When labor and management sit down at the bargaining table, it is supposed to be in good faith. It is assumed that an agreement will be reached. No one is thinking about a strike-but you should be. Pre-strike planning allows you to develop a logical tactical response to a labor action. This kind of pre-emptive preparation ensures that it will be business as usual no matter what.

Gettier Security is an expert in pre-strike planning. For a nominal fee, a member of the company’s executive team will conduct an on-site security survey and customize a pre-strike plan specifically for your facility. This optional service benefits you and your organization in three ways:

  1. Insight
    Key executives at Gettier Security have responded to more than 1,000 labor disputes. They are well versed in the laws affecting strikes as well as the covert actions sometimes used and how to guard against them. This knowledge allows Gettier Security to assess your needs, identify possible risks and put a thorough step-by-step plan together that leaves nothing to chance.
  2. Efficiency
    Again, Gettier Security’s experience gives them the edge. In less time than it would take you to simply identify the top- level planning components, your Gettier Security consultant can provide you with a complete analysis and tactical plan that you can trust for its thoroughness, foresight and ease of implementation. There is no guesswork. Gettier Security’s recommendations are backed by methods and resources that have been field tested and proven effective.
  3. Value
    The investment you make in pre-strike planning with Gettier Security will pay dividends in peace-of-mind and productivity. In the time leading up to contract talks and throughout the negotiations, you and your team can concentrate on the work at hand, secure in the knowledge that you are prepared should the worst happen. And, in the event that a strike is called, Gettier Security will apply the entire pre-strike planning fee to the cost of any strike security services provided.
