Sample non-union statement

As with every organization, we have problems from time to time. However, we have always been able to work those problems out among ourselves without the intervention of outsiders. Only by working together can we make this a prosperous and successful organization. We encourage you to bring your problems to your supervisor or to anyone else you feel can help you. We, in turn, promise to listen and to give the best possible response that we can.

Note: In a union setting, an employer should be cautious in inserting union-free statements into the employee handbook. In one case, the NLRB ruled that the unilateral issuance of a handbook containing a union-free policy along with an acknowledgement whereby employees agreed to be bound by the handbook's policies was a violation of the NLRA.
