Program Overview

During the collective bargaining agreements (CBA) year, changes in management styles are inevitable. Modifications in CBA, labor laws, human rights codes, and grievance and disciplinary procedures make it very challenging to maintain a cohesive, trusting, and motivated workforce. This skills-laden learning session takes the burden out of rethinking managing unionized employee groups. It will help the participants gain legal knowledge and leadership approaches to improve workplace relations and make confident management or human resources decisions that will withstand any arbitration process scrutiny.

Throughout the training, participants will learn the intricate process of preparation, data and information gathering for decision-making, quantification of the economic package, formulation of a contingency plan in the event of a strike or work stoppage, and implementation of the agreement itself. The seminar also presents innovations in negotiation techniques and strategies, provides fresh perspectives on rules and practices, and helps the participants identify their negotiation style, which will be capped with a role play where the participants act as management negotiators and union negotiators.
