Attendees will have an increased understanding and where appropriate, skill set of the following:
- How to be as fully prepared as possible for negotiations, not only at the table but for the support team(s) from the field to the corporate office and board room as well because LR must always be viewed as a “team sport.”
- How to identify and utilize best practices regarding how, when and why you should/must communicate and with whom (as permissible under law) before, during and after negotiations?
- The preventative/pre-cautionary step to take to mitigate or even prevent an “end run?”
- Being able to identify the required mandatory, permissive and forbidden subjects of not only bargaining but for the entire spectrum of the labor management relationship?
- Do you know about the use of “housekeepers” in negotiating and for other complex matters and how they can stave off potential misunderstandings and formal disputes?
- And do you know about the many and varied forms of seniority and not only about to properly administer seniority but how to be aware of and prevent their “creep” into other areas of the workplace and CBA/MOU?
- Do you know the why and how of conducting an efficient, effective and lawful internal investigation without any potential conflict(s) of interest or bias?
- And are your questioning and listening skills as good as they might be when negotiating, investigating, grievance processing and administering the CBA?

Why Should You Attend
In this third webinar from our Labor Relations Survival Guide A-Z series attendees will continue to explore and improve their understanding of the labor negotiations process and the administration of the CBA/MOU.
Do you know and are you fully prepared as possible for negotiations, not only at the table but for the support team(s) from the field to the corporate office and board room as well? And what are best practices regarding how, when and why you should/must communicate and with whom (as permissible under law) before, during and after negotiations? And what can you do to mitigate or even prevent an “end run?” Can you identify the required mandatory, permissive and forbidden subjects of not only bargaining but for the entire spectrum of the labor management relationship? Do you know about the use of “housekeepers” in negotiating and for other complex matters and how they can stave off potential misunderstandings and formal disputes? And do you know not only about how to properly administer seniority clauses in the CBA but how to be aware of and prevent their “creep” into other areas of the workplace and CBA/MOU? Do you know the why and how of conducting an efficient, effective and lawful internal investigation without any potential conflict(s) of interest or bias? And are your questioning and listening skills as good as they might be when negotiating, investigating, grievance processing and administering the CBA?
If you can’t favorably and with confidence answer all the above, then this third session of four webinars from our Labor Relations Survival Guide A-Z is just what you will need to support and improve your Labor Relations skill set.
