4. Approach to Facilitating Union and Non-Union Involvement with the Development of Compensation Schedules and Organization Restructure Facilitating union and non-union involvement is one of the most important components in the development of a compensation system and undergoing an organizational review. This is a seamless practice for us and we have this issue Î almost universally Î in every project we are involved in. As discussed at the beginning of Section Three, our approach emphasizes process credibility and outcome credibility. When these two variables are achieved, potential union and non-union conflicts are minimized and essentially eliminated. In our study approach, input is obtained from both union and non-union employees equally, without bias or preference to any individual, classification, or bargaining unit attend the employee orientation meeting to obtain information regarding the study. In our experience, we have consistently and successfully managed union and non-union issues and received buy-in from all employees. We treat each individual respectfully and equally. We will work to build trust with everyone we work with in the City of Arden Hills. 5.
