4.1 Provide detailed information on the workforce. How many workers? In which location do they work? What are the demographics of the workforce?
4.2 Is the company unionized? Which union at which facility?
4.3 Are there identifiable worker issues?
Who the target firm employs tells a great deal about their operation. Are most workers full-time or part-time? Knowing more about the demographics of the workforce will be central in identifying worker issues and developing a campaign.
Basic information on the workforce is provided in the Annual Return available at Companies House WebCHeck or the company’s website. You should also consult the company web site for other documents in the investor relations section.
Dunn and Bradstreet Million Dollar Directory (fee-based) provides an extremely comprehensive list of the number of employees by facility.
LinkedIn provides some basic information on employees by searching under the “company” tab. It is best to contact workers to identify worker issues, but there are some resources available online such as Glassdoor that includes workers comments about their employer. Social media sites such as Facebook may also be useful.
