Labour Relations and the Negotiation Cycle

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service presents:
Labour Relations and the Negotiation Cycle
Join us in Guelph, Ontario
Collective bargaining has become more challenging
than ever. Are you able to maximize opportunities
and minimize risk at the negotiating table? Is your
labour relationship an asset or a barrier to effective
collective bargaining?
Conducted by experienced FMCS mediators, this
interactive workshop will focus on the negotiation
cycle and how to ensure the best possible outcomes
at the bargaining table and in the workplace. You will
learn strategies to implement best practices and
have an opportunity to interact with union and
management negotiators from a variety of sectors.
Tuesday, June 10 and
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
