I have had the privilege to work with Rick for years in a variety of industries and settings. Rick’s significant knowledge and experience in labor, personnel dynamics and assessing managerial and corporate vulnerabilities is without peer. Rick’s extensive background in labor and his years as a management strategist affords him the ability to quickly and effectively identify and communicate difficult and complex concepts in a manner that is appreciated and understood. I have seen Rick’s hard work and knowledge implemented and ultimately instrumental in numerous successful labor campaigns. In addition, Rick is constantly researching trends, technology, and emerging applications to meet the needs of management and the fluid nature of the work force. Through his skill and knowledge, I have seen Rick develop robust communication systems between managers and employees that had been completely broken down or had never been established. I would recommend Rick for anyone who needs a skilled and experienced professional to assist them with labor issues, a labor campaign, or employee and operational communication assessment.
