Costing Labor Contracts
The keys to successful negotiations include planning and costing. Just like planning a vacation, the amount of time and effort you put into planning and costing can determine the success of the trip. Costing contract proposals is similar to costing excursions on a vacation - they all sound like a good idea but can we afford them? Join us at this workshop to learn the importance of costing and methods you can use to make costing easy.
Nuts & Bolts of Negotiations
Navigate the nuts & bolts of public sector labor negotiations by exploring the legal framework of collective bargaining, preparation tips for the process, and setting up your strategy. The fundamentals are the building blocks to success and this workshop will provide the key elements in this process.
Communication Counts!
Effective labor negotiators have strong communication skills and understand the critical impact that all types of communication have on labor relations. How we communicate - verbally, with body language, using data, with contract language, our proposals, and our closed session presentations each influence the labor negotiations process. Technical labor relations knowledge is essential for success but communication is powerful in accomplishing labor relations objectives.
The Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) Academy
This workshop will help you understand unfair labor practices, PERB hearing procedures, representation matters, agency shop provisions, employer-employee relations resolutions, mediation services, fact-finding, and requests for injunctive relief - all subjects covered under PERB’s jurisdiction. Join us and we share the insight on PERB!
Trends & Topics At The Table
What is happening in that room? This workshop puts you into the negotiation session environment and focuses on tips from our time at the table. Trending topics, union tactics, creative problem solving, and techniques to tackle various contract provisions will be shared and demonstrated.
The Rules of Engagement: Issues, Impacts & Impasse
Understanding the scope of meet and confer matters, impacts/effects bargaining, the rights of union/association representatives, dealing with pickets, protests and concerted activity, issuing last, best & final offers, impasse procedures and managing the chaos that can come when engaged with labor relations challenges will be covered in this workshop.
Bargaining Over Benefits
Benefit provisions continue to get complicated with retirement, Affordable Care Act, FLSA compliance, IRS compliance, retiree medical, and leaves of absence. Understanding the interplay of state and federal laws and MOU provisions is important – let us uncomplicate some complicated subjects, provide tips for compliance, and offer strategies for your agency to consider.
