The Sessions

Certification and Unfair Labour Practices

Preparing for Collective Bargaining

So you have a collective agreement. Now what? This session will cover key considerations around working with the union, managing unionized employees, accommodation in a unionized workplace, and how to leverage positive labour relations to ensure the success of your organization.
