Labor Negotiations: Process, Preparation & Strategy

Negotiations is a complex and multifaceted process requiring specialized knowledge and training. The Labor Negotiations: Process, Preparation & Strategy seminar is a comprehensive analysis of the process from both sides of the table.
The instructor will provide information on packaging proposals, negotiation types, and trends in benefits and contract language, as well persuasion techniques. These topics will be discussed within the context of good faith bargaining and the duty to bargain under the National Labor Relations Act.
Our virtual learning programs are restricted to only 10 attendees in order to foster engaging and interactive discussions between participants on real life situations, how to handle issues as they arise, and turning issues and disputes into opportunities. The instructor promotes an environment open to Q&A’s and exchanging ideas, including views from both Management and Union perspectives, allowing you to network just as you would in a face-to-face setting.
The LN:PPS seminar is a one (1) day program scheduled from 8:30am to 4:00pm, including breaks and a 30 minute lunch period.
