Feb 16 - Guide to Conducting Fact-Finding Investigations
When incidents arise in the workplace which can potentially lead to disciplinary action, both labor and management representatives must be adequately prepared to address those situations and take whatever action is necessary. Making the wrong decision based on erroneous facts can lead to disaster for both labor and management leaders. This session will provide those individuals with the tools necessary to conduct fact-finding investigations and make decisions which can be legally supported in the long run.

May 4 - Balancing Work and Family
Making Time for Labor Relations
There is nothing wrong with working hard and being a dedicated to either your local or the company you work for, and the position you hold in the scheme of labor relations. At the same time, we strive to be a devoted family member, while being involved in personal and community activities. The problem arises when these aspects of your life get so out of balance that you lose perspective and stray from what you value most. This workshop is designed so participants: have a better understanding of the possible conflicts between work and family, clarify their personal values, be able to identify the signs that our life is out of balance, understand how to resolve conflicts and set realistic goals and expectations for eliminating conflict, and be able to implement time management tips to achieve balance between work and family.
May 18 - Handling Disability in the Workforce
Labor and Management Compliance with "New" Americans with Disabilities Act
Disabilities in the workplace present special challenges to the parties’ administration of the collective bargaining agreement, whether the disability comes from a work-related or personal condition. These challenges have now reached a different dimension with the amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act, which greatly expanded the coverage of the law. This seminar will address those changes, and how labor and management leaders can productively and legally adapt.
June 15 - The ABC's of Workers' Compensation for Stewards & Supervisors
Injuries in the workplace are an unfortunate occurrence, despite the best efforts of labor and management. The steps stewards and supervisors take at the outset can go a long way towards providing appropriate medical care and in preventing future accidents. This training will provide supervisors and stewards with the necessary skills on how to effectively deal with workers’ compensation injuries, from medical care to disability benefits.
