About Mike N.
Experienced security professional with nearly 2 decades of service to clients with 3 (Apollo, Allied, Securitas) domestic and international security providers, working in a highly visible, sensitive, client facing and customer service based environment at Harvard University. Advocated for open access to educational opportunities at Harvard University through evangelism and using data to exhibit inequities in a majority minority, majority immigrant work unit. Was elected twice by peer vote, back to back, to represent work unit, negotiating an extension agreement during peak COVID19 pandemic, achieving the same bonus for all irrespective of time worked during COVID (each employee got the max offer), as well as a full fledged 4 year agreement which included a 13% raise in a single calendar year, protected seniority, and maintained free family medical for our work unit. Other unions and work units took 2.7% and 3% wage increases during 9% inflation. Made history with the first no vote at Harvard for our work unit on a forced initial offer. This was achieved without a single work stoppage or much effort on behalf of the work unit. Worked tirelessly to break down contract line by line by cross referencing it against security CBAs and Harvard contracts highlighting issues vs. Harvard's Wage and Benefit Parity Policy, bundling the distilled insight into proposals and presenting them throughout both negotiations. • Student of employment law both at the federal and state level • Intimately familiar with NLRB, NLRA processes and procedures • Background in studying management and labor related issues, FLSA, HR requirements •Intimately familiar with grievance, arbitration, and the pros/cons of union involvement • Strategic Management Professional Certificate 2014, Harvard University, at a 98% Discount • Completed Graduate Program in Management 2017, Harvard University, at a 98% Discount • Strengths include strategy, presentations, persistence & passion to win. • Worked at a Afro-Brazilian business incubator in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil • Experience in the full NGO & small business cycle, from sponsorship to support. • Consulting experience with entrepreneurs in crafts work, chemical, fashion, food sectors. • Wants to work with others who are not afraid to think BIG. • Quick learner, always tinkering, curious, determined. • Not afraid to earn his keep, work hard, or start at the bottom.
