Right to Work
South Carolina has one of the lowest unionization, work stoppage, and business litigation rankings in the country. Laurens County has a unionization rate of less than one percent, lower than state average of two percent. Contributing to this pro-business atmosphere is South Carolina's designation as a right-to-work state, enhancing the ability of employers to operate non-union sites.
The Upstate maintains positive employer-employee relations by emphasizing programs and initiatives that help to mitigate any grievances through human resource and management-employee participation programs. The Upstate is also home to several labor-law firms that aid local management educational programs.
