To win at the bargaining table, it is necessary, but not sufficient, to have skilled negotiators. Before the first bargaining session takes place, the union has to design a comprehensive bargaining program and carry out the work needed to set the stage for what will take place once bargaining commences.

This webinar goes through the step by step work that is needed to:

: construct a bargaining agenda that reflects the issues of highest priority for the union;

: set goals and realistic timeframes for each stage of the bargaining process;

: conduct the research needed to formulate and defend the union’s proposals;

: select the bargaining team and define the roles of team members both at and away from the bargaining table;

: establish the roles and responsibilities of union officers and of members responsible for support activities;

: formulate ground rules, taking into account what model of bargaining the union will adopt (open or closed bargaining sessions? open or restricted information flow to the membership and the public?) 

This session is designed to provide a comprehensive picture of preparation for bargaining, exploring both the tasks that must be performed and the underlying politics. It will target those who will be or are considering being part of a bargaining team or bargaining support group, as well as local officers, staff and activists who want to learn more about the bargaining process and how they might use their particular skills to contribute to victory at the table.
