Collective Bargaining: Concepts and Constructs
Labour-management negotiations involve a series of interrelated and complex processes. There are a variety of bargaining techniques which lead to the successful negotiation of a collective agreement including preparation for bargaining, which is considered by many to be the most important stage in the bargaining process.

During this one and a half day session, you will be introduced to the basics of collective bargaining including: knowledge of the law, planning, strategizing, preparing and finally, negotiating, all in the context of our challenging environment.
