Why TJR Consulting?
Relationships
Even if you have an existing Human Resources function we can help. TJR Consulting has long established positive relationships established with all Local 6 Business Agents as well as VP’s and Peter Ward. The Union and Mr. Ward trusts TJR Consulting which makes union negotiations, bargaining and meetings much easier. Meetings are professional & productive as opposed to hostile and argumentative. Because of the established trust factor, we can negotiate to your satisfaction and accomplish your wishes and outcomes. Most of the time mediation and arbitration is not necessary as most issues can be resolved at the Hotel level which assures a more favorable outcome. As you are well aware – going to arbitration is like rolling the dice and most decisions lean in favor of the employee. We work directly with your senior leaders and/or existing HR department to provide expertise in effectively managing the union and union activities.
Problem Solving
Think you can’t discipline or terminate a long standing Delegate? Wrong! Delegates are still subject to adherence to policies and procedures. TJR Consulting can guide you and your HR department on strategies to effectively deal with problematic individuals.
Negotiation
Closing or Opening a property? TJR Consulting can negotiate the most favorable deal for you. In fact with regards to Openings- many of the Union Contract requirements can be modified, postponed or eliminated.
Training
We conduct Trainings for Managers and Supervisors on topics including: Harassment, Diversity, Management 101, Understanding the Collective Bargaining Agreement and other workplace issues.
Legal Advice
We counsel our clients on all employment laws including but not limited to: the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, Paid Family Leave Act, New York City Sick Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, WARN, COBRA, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, OSHA, National Labor Relations Act, as well as all state and local laws and regulations.

TJR Consulting- an open letter to hotel property owners
Dear Property Owner:
Don’t let the Union bully your Hotel operation.
As one knows, the Union is entrenched in NYC Hotels and their presence effects your operation and productivity.
Tired of being threatened with work stoppages and lobby meetings because of supposed Health and Safety reasons?
There are three actionables that can done with the right professional assistance.
First, it is paramount to keep Union Business Agents OFF your property because once they are on site, employees bombard them with complaints which result in your team facing multiple issues instead of just the one issue which originally brought them to your property.
Second, Training your Managers regarding contract and compliance matters are essential.
And Third, establish a feeling of trust and cooperation among Union Representatives and your management team.
It’s this kind of action plan based on years of hands-on experience that can assist in meeting your property’s profit goals.
We at TJR Consulting Services represent your property in mediation and/or arbitration hearings. We have a 98% success rate in settling cases in mediation (most desirable) as well as winning favorable awards from arbitrators.
We compliment your Human Resources Manager by providing the necessary skills needed to establish a feeling of trust between you and the Union. As you may know, the Union has an overall basic distrust of Management and some Hotels are targeted more than others. It is this understanding and sensitivity to these issues why we work in conjunction with your existing staff to prevent problems from ever occurring. Because we have established a high level of trust with the Union and Business Agents- negotiations are civilized, productive and not combative.
TJR Consulting has over 20 years’ experience working with the Union. During this time we have established positive constructive relationships and trust.
Whether you are Opening a Hotel, closing a Hotel or just having difficulty establishing trust and working with the Union, we can assist.
Once TJR consulting services is engaged – your Union issues will be managed – this means control of your property will once again be realized.
Within the next week I will be contacting your office to arrange a time where we can discuss your unique Union requirements and design a plan that makes sense for your property. Or please feel free to contact me at. Xxx-xxx-xxxx.
I look forward to meeting you. And offering the very best strategy in Labor Relations Counsel.
