When there’s a possibility of a strike at your organization, time is critical. Prioritizing and implementing a comprehensive security plan as soon as possible helps reduce risk, improve preparedness, and supports a more effective response.
What Is Labor Dispute Security?
Labor dispute security plays a critical role in protecting an organization’s facilities, assets, and employees before and during a strike. Security officers who specialize in labor dispute situations are best equipped for these environments, as they understand the unique risks and potential threats involved. They also support proper documentation and evidence collection in accordance with the National Labor Relations Act.
Planning
The planning process ahead of a projected labor strike begins with submitting a security request. At DK Security, we take a proactive approach, with our leadership team providing a detailed strike security analysis and initiating pre-strike planning as quickly as possible. Our customized security plans include coordinating with law enforcement and coordinating strategies to support the safe continuity of business operations during a strike.
Training
Once a strike plan is finalized, DK Security assists clients with preparing staff to operate safely during a labor dispute. Teams are trained on proper procedures for collecting and logging evidence, while employees receive instructions on safely navigating picket lines. Additional education is also provided on picketer activity, including clear guidance between lawful and unlawful conduct, to help ensure awareness, compliance, and safety throughout the event.

DK Security helps maintain the safety of all parties during a labor dispute. Whether you have an existing plan in place or are responding to an unexpected work stoppage, our highly trained and experienced security officers can be deployed within hours to help protect your business and operations.
