Avoiding Collective Bargaining Pitfalls

Few things will have a greater impact on a unionized workplace than the collective agreement. Negotiations for a new or renewed collective agreement present an opportunity for employers to not only address issues in the workplace, but they also present an opportunity for potential pitfalls.

Join two of our labour partners, Chris Lane, K.C. and Michelle Thériault as they discuss bargaining strategies to avoid these pitfalls, including missteps that can occur within the employer’s own proposal as well as missteps that can occur in responding to union proposals.

Topics covered in this webinar include:

• Drafting and timing of bargaining proposals
• Providing effective counter proposals
• Issues that should not be bargained
• Avoiding and making unfair labour practice and bad faith bargaining complaints

Who should attend: This webinar is designed for in-house counsel and labour relations, human resources, and operations professionals with operations in Alberta, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, or under federal jurisdiction.

Date: Wednesday, May 31, 2023

Time: 12 PM – 1:30 PM
