Corporate Words has a depth of experience in the area of industrial disputation.

Industrial disputation usually manifests itself in the form of aggressive union activity significantly disrupting a company's productions. It can quickly lead to substantial losses in revenue and reputation for a company, the follow-on effects of which can be felt long after the industrial action has subsided. 

A pervasive tool of modern industrial action is the media. 

Unions use the media as a channel through which to gain the support of  the public and politicians likely to favour their cause. Without careful media relations, a company will be misrepresented by the media and thus will be less able to negotiate terms with the unions and government.

Industrial disputation affects a wide range of groups including:

The reactions of these groups will shape the future of a company - for better or for worse.

Our senior consultants have regularly undertaken specific training to back up years of personal experience in the area of industrial relations. The methods employed by unions change over time and it is the firm's philosophy to be one step ahead, every time.

Corporate Words has successfully managed a broad range of industrial disputes, minimising harm and quickly rebuilding reputations for client companies with their stakeholders. We have worked closely with the Australian Industry Group in solving difficult issues on behalf of its clients.
