Labor Relations Virtual Summit: Optimizing Employee Relations in a Union Shop - on DVD

If your organization is now having to deal with union representatives and manage a unionized workforce, there's much work to be done by HR. 

Do you know your employer obligations under the NLRA? Do you know how often you're required to meet with the union reps during the CBA process? Do you know the provisions your CBA must have and the ones that management must avoid at all costs?

Get the answers to these questions and more when you participate in the interactive extended webinar, Labor Relations Virtual Summit: Optimizing Employee Relations in a Union Shop.
