Negotiating a new collective agreement is a sensitive process which needs to be handled delicately and in good faith by all parties involved. This is why at Gardium our employees are trained to provide our services in a respectful manner to all participants within the negotiating process ensuring a meaningful and productive path to success. We at Gardium Security recognize that the negotiating process is unpredictable, which is why we assist our clients in preparing a detailed contingency plan prior to a potential labour disruption. This contingency plan enables your organization to maintain the same levels of quality and productivity your clients have come to expect from you.
Gardium Security has built a solid foundation delivering over 23+ years of labour disruption security services assisting our clients in protecting their people, operations and physical assets by providing detailed contingency planning and security services. Our security personnel not only possess the necessary skill and experience but also the temperament in dealing with the inevitable threats, intimidation and animosity that accompanies picket line activity. This enables us to provide safe and secure access for non-unionized staff and management to your facility, ensuring continued operations where necessary.
Our experts help reduce the risk of confrontations by providing information sessions to employees who are not directly involved in the labour dispute. These sessions focus on appropriate behaviour and response strategies during such situations, helping employees understand their role and how they can contribute to maintaining a safe and respectful environment.
In the event of a work stoppage or an operational shutdown, Gardium Security ensures that product quality and business continuity are not compromised. We provide complete coverage for all contingencies—both operational and tactical. A customized security plan is developed for each situation, and complimentary training is offered to senior staff to ensure preparedness and effective response.
Gardium recognizes that organizations are unique and therefore we customize our approach and planning specifically to meet the needs and culture of your specific business ensuring risk mitigation solutions are built and applied in a strategic and sage manner.
Being fully aware that reintegration of the workforce will inevitably occur upon the successful negotiation of a new collective agreement, our team provides our services in accordance with all applicable laws and legislation. This sentiment is applied when collecting the necessary evidence required in the injunction process along with respect and sound judgment when interacting with all parties involved.
Gardium Security offers specific protection services for people in executive positions.
The executive protection service is designed to escort leaders and those identified at risk in order to protect them from any threats or aggressive behaviour (e.g., physical or psychological threats than can stem from labour disputes, dismissal of difficult employees or plants closures). This type of private protection needs to be visible, but not cumbersome, to enable the people being protected to perform their duties with complete peace of mind.
Our security agents assigned to this service are mainly former police officers who have held comparable positions and possess executive protection expertise. This type of intervention is typically handled anonymously; Gardium Security regularly fulfills mandates as drivers and security guards for public figures, business executives and diplomats.
In the event of a labour dispute, it is important to have an action plan so as not to aggravate the situation. Contact us, we would be pleased to discuss developing one with you.
