Does it give a bad reputation to a business organization if their staff go on strike?

[Min George]

Many organizations are always against their staff going on strike. When the staff go on strike, apart from production being halted, does it give a bad reputation to a business organization if their staff is on strike?

It generally is not a positive when your staff go on strike. You have to do all within your reach to maintain a positive PR in such a situation.

It does affect the reputation of an organization if its staff goes on strike. Should this happen, you need to have a good negotiator and a PR person to minimize the damage.

The default position would always be that the business is not treating the staff right and that is why they are striking.

Yes it does because staff don't go on strike for a good reason it always shows there's a problem

Yes, strikes at work pose many challenges for an organization. In addition to halting production, outsiders begin to question the leadership and working environment. It can affect the company’s image in the eyes of customers and business partners.

But strikes also show that employees care about their rights. They are a sign of finding solutions, not rebellion. Often, strikes trigger positive changes such as improved benefits or communication at work. Therefore, not every strike is a sign of weakness.

Yes! It shows that there is inherent problem which is directly and indirectly affecting productivity. Either the organization is not making profit or the management is not properly organized. As you know, there are many reason apart from financial that will make an organization go on strike.

Businesses organizations don't always allow strikes to linger too long. That's because it spoils the reputation of the brand if it occurs for too long.

Staffs good on strike can give a bad name to the company, as people would view the company as not being able to take care of their staffs.

People always view the management of an organization to be incompetent and inefficient when their staff go on strike.

To an extent it goes but the good outweigh the bad sides as the staff might get their points across with a strike

It is absolutely true. A labor strike can affect a company's image in the eyes of the public. I also believe that a company that fails to address its employees' issues is seen as uncaring for the well-being of its people. This can reduce the trust of customers and business partners.

Strike means that there's something wrong. So a company would not want any strike that would give them a bad name

 

[Nomad]

When staff go to strike it is usually due to the organization bad work practice, this will certainly damage the brand value.

 

[Min George]

It would always make the brand look bad if the staff are always going on strike. Organizations avoid that like a plague.
