Client Testimonials
Senior Director of North American Operations, Fortune 500
“Our warehouse employees and drivers in St. Louis walked off the job after their contract expired and we were unable to come to an agreement with them on a new contract. For the first two weeks of the strike, we utilized salaried people to drive our trucks, but we knew that this wasn’t sustainable for a long period of time.
Subsequently, a call was placed to RSS Inc. and within 3 days you had drivers on-site ready to start delivering our products. Your drivers were professional and courteous people who helped make sure our customers were satisfied during the 6 additional weeks our employees were on strike.
I highly recommend RSS Inc. to any company in need of personnel”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the strike staffing process?
Strike staffing is the process of hiring workers to fill in for employees who are on strike. Hiring a temporary agency like RSS can provide your business with the staffing it needs to stay open during a strike, minimizing the impact on your operations. The goal is to keep the company running as smoothly as possible during a strike and reduce the impact it has on its operations.

What is a strike replacement worker?
In the event of a labor dispute that results in employees going on strike, businesses may choose to hire replacement workers for their vacated positions. These individuals are typically non-union, temporary employees whose sole purpose is maintaining the operation until the strike is resolved. It is important to note that using replacement workers is not always agreed upon by both sides – unions may view them as a violation of solidarity. At the same time, businesses may argue they must continue providing services or products. Ultimately, each situation must be assessed based on its unique circumstances and potential impacts on both parties involved.
Can a striking worker be permanently replaced?
How does a business plan for a potential strike?
It is essential to have a contingency plan in place in case of a strike. A strike contingency plan identifies potential risks and creates strategies to minimize the impact on operations. For example, securing alternative sources of labor or transport may be necessary to maintain production and distribution. By putting a strike contingency plan in place, a business can minimize disruption and ensure the smooth continuation of operations.
