The Bargaining Table and Beyond

Join us for our newest program

Parties to collective bargaining are faced with resolving more complex issues than ever before, and the number of issues finding their way to the table is on the rise. The ability to withstand the pressures and jointly navigate all of the challenges may not be achievable during bargaining. Is your relationship strong enough to enable the parties to deal with the complexities of the bargaining process?

Conducted by expert Dispute Resolution Services’ mediators, in an interactive setting, you will learn the best practices that contribute to productive and constructive collective bargaining, its challenges, dynamics and opportunities, and the critical role of the relationship, its strength and its resilience.

Registration fee: $695 + HST
