Critical decision factors are weighted for importance and typically include labor market (highest priority), unionization, site/building availability (large industrial sites in the right submarket can be a challenge), electric power cost and reliability, tax environment, and economic incentives offsets.

The presence of union activity within the distribution and manufacturing sector is often times an overriding consideration for our corporate clients. For this reason, WDGC has developed a proprietary Union Activity Database covering three decades of union solicitation, election outcomes, and membership rates. With this data we are able to quantify recent activity while predicting future risks or benefits associated with organized labor movements and how they might directly impact the success of your operation.
