Facing Management
Do you often wonder if your Local Union could be more
effective and assertive at the workplace? Local union
representatives meet with management representatives as
equals for various reasons - grievance hearing, union
management consultations and sometimes for collective
agreement negotiations. This course will give you the skills
and confidence to ‘Face Management’ in a number of
different environments. Together we will examine the
collective agreement legal framework, protocol and
practice of union/management consultation. We will also
explore the appropriate use of interest based workplace
negotiations as well as introduce some hands-on
techniques. And last but definitely not least, when formal
and informal union/management consultation fails we can
always rely on the power of the collective to make our
voices heard. Learn how to organize and carry out
strategic and effective workplace actions and campaigns.
