Course Description:

Do you often wonder how to make your Union Management Consultations more effective and help you deal with issues at the workplace? If so, this is the course for you! Together, we will examine the legal framework, protocol and practice of union/management consultation. We will also explore the appropriate use of interest-based workplace negotiations as well as introduce some hands-on techniques. And last but definitely not least, when formal and informal union/management consultation fails we can always rely on the power of the collective to make our voices heard. Learn how to organize and carry out strategic and effective workplace actions and campaigns.

Please apply for this course below. The application deadline is Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 4 PM Pacific.
