Why Should You Attend
In this second of our four-part Labor Relations Survival Guide webinar series and based on our foundation in part 1, we continue to recognize that Labor Relations requires a very specific and special skill set supplementing HR. So, if you have not worked with a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) in a Unionized workplace or if you have but want more specific training or to update your knowledge base then continuing with what was discussed in part one and supplementing it here with part two will help you not only build but maintain your LR skill set.
Are you aware of the different types of collective bargaining/negotiation that are possible on a number of levels and the differences between a CBA and an MOU (memorandum of Understanding) both legal and otherwise? Regardless, do you know the basic elements of an agreement and the guidelines for reading and interpreting it? And what about those pesky “good faith provisions and what do they really mean? Are you similarly familiar and comfortable regarding the “Reserved Rights Doctrine” often also called “Management Rights” and its obligations under the law as well? And just how important is the importance of record keeping and what forms should it take to be of use in not only contract interpretation but in grievances and arbitrations as well. Do you know the basics of how to go about researching a contract interpretation matter? And no survival crash course would be complete without your gaining an understanding of jurisdictional issues between various groups in the workplace and their impact on the CBA and the labor management relationship as a whole.
As with the previous Part 1, if you can’t answer all the above with confidence, then this second of four webinars is just what you will need to supplement your developing body of knowledge to improve your Labor Relations skill set.
