8 III. Employer Employee Relations South Carolina is a right-to-work state and an employment-at-will state. Employer-Employee Relations in South Carolina are very stable, and the state consistently ranks as one of the least unionized in the nation. According to Unionstats.com, South Carolina s 2010 unionization rate is one of the lowest in the country at 4.6% for all employees and 2.7% for private sector employees. South Carolina has one of the lowest work stoppage rates in the nation, averaging less than 0.01 percent working time lost due to strikes. In 2010, the unionization rate for the Greenville-Anderson-Seneca CSA was only 1.9% (Private Sector). Additionally, Greenville MSA is the least unionized MSA in the United States, as stated in a past Arthur Anderson Study. There have been no reported work stoppages, strikes or walkouts reported in Greenville County in the last ten years. Greenville is also home to several of the nation s leading labor law firms. A united community effort is made to minimize the need for unions. This includes an emphasis on good management practices, employee participation, plus an emphasis on positive human relations programs.
