Summary
An employer willing to invest resources and hire a competent representative can avoid a first contract in almost every case. Experience suggests that obtaining a first contract occurs in substantially less than 50 percent of the circumstances where unions win representation elections. I explore in this chapter how the law allows employers to avoid a first contract.
