Employer Monitoring for Union Campaigns
Campaigns do not stand still. Agitation Institute can monitor public-source signals for employer changes that matter to organizing teams - leadership shifts, new locations, public controversies, project signals, and more.
The employer picture changes while campaigns are active
An initial dossier gives you a baseline. But employers expand, restructure, change leadership, face new litigation, and announce new projects. Campaigns that rely on a static picture can miss changes that matter.
Ongoing monitoring catches public-source changes against the established baseline and gets relevant updates to the campaign team without requiring organizers to start from scratch.
When monitoring helps most
- Active campaigns running over months
- Strategic targets under long-term consideration
- Fast-changing sectors or employers
- Employers with active public controversies
- Employers expanding into new locations
- High-value targets with leadership volatility

Monitoring builds on an initial dossier
The most effective monitoring starts with an established employer picture. An initial dossier sets the baseline - monitoring tracks what changes against it.
If you do not yet have a dossier on the employer, start there first. Monitoring can be added after the initial research is complete.

Common questions
What can be monitored?
Leadership changes, new locations, public projects, job postings, lawsuits and enforcement actions, ownership changes where visible, website updates, and public announcements.
How often do you send updates?
Weekly or monthly update briefs are the most common cadence. Custom frequencies can be discussed based on how active the employer situation is.
Can monitoring be added after a dossier?
Yes. Monitoring is a natural follow-on to an initial dossier - tracking changes against the established employer baseline.
Do you monitor private accounts?
