Union Relations: Building Partnerships for Organizational Success

Is your organization stuck in outdated approaches to union relationships? The most effective public sector employers have moved beyond confrontational tactics to establish productive partnerships built on mutual respect. This transformative workshop provides a framework for developing positive union relations while preserving clear management authority.

This strategic learning experience helps participants:

• Replace outdated "strong arm" tactics with collaborative approaches that build trust
• Establish effective communication channels between administration and union leadership
• Develop constructive processes for idea-sharing and feedback without surrendering management prerogatives
• Create fair and transparent grievance procedures that respect both contract requirements and organizational needs
• Build relationships that acknowledge distinct roles while working toward shared goals

When union relations shift from adversarial to collaborative, organizations experience reduced conflict, improved morale, and more efficient resolution of workplace issues. This isn't about ceding control—it's about creating an environment where union leadership respects management decisions because they trust the process that led to them.

What makes this workshop different? This isn't theoretical idealism—it's a practical approach to labor relations based on real-world success stories. Participants leave with concrete strategies for building productive partnerships while maintaining appropriate boundaries between union influence and management authority.
