Collective Bargaining Course for Leadership
In this 3-day Collective Bargaining Leadership program which is held at the Union Hall will focus on maximizing our bargaining power by developing a strategic approach to bargaining. Participants will discuss the importance of preparation including generating proposals from the membership, assessing the climate of bargaining, building a strong committee, determining bargaining priorities and developing a strong proposal package.
Through a role play activity, participants will have an opportunity to draft contract language, negotiate an agreement and deepen their understanding around the role of the bargaining committee throughout negotiations. We will discuss the ratification process and the role of the committee in presenting a tentative agreement to members. Attention will also be given to the importance of collective bargaining as an opportunity to engage members, connect members to the union and, as a result, strengthen the local union.
