Effectively resolving disputes—including utilizing the contractual grievance and arbitration process—is vital for union representatives, stewards, and members. In this class, participants will examine the tools and skills needed to investigate and resolve grievances in different steps of the grievance procedure, culminating with a mock arbitration before an arbitrator. We will examine the just cause, tools to interpret collective bargaining agreements, and develop the skills to take a grievance through arbitration.

This is a crucial educational program for any union—especially those seeking to adapt to “open shop” or “Right to Work.” Reinvigorate your union with successful strategies and fundamental principles for membership engagement. Learn how to build involvement by identifying and developing new activists and creating an internal structure that increases your capacity to act. You will learn how to change the “What’s the union done for me lately?” mindset into a more comprehensive sense of collective strength.
