Bargaining Basics
January 14, 2015, 7:00 p.m. (MB/SK) / 6:00 p.m. (AB)
Many members assume bargaining is a hostile interaction. However, that's not always the case. It's a collective dialogue that requires cooperation from both sides.
This webinar will focus on how bargaining works and the process required to implement a collective agreement within federal jurisdiction.
Guest speaker will be Tom Milne, Regional Negotiator, PSAC Prairie Region. Milne has worked for PSAC as a negotiator for eight years and is responsible for more than 25 bargaining units, including regional employers and national units.
What will be covered?
We will discuss three stages of bargaining: input gathering, face-to-face bargaining, and dispute resolution. We will give an overview of the various steps that occur during each stage, the role for members during those stages, and answer questions.
