The JLP launches Understanding the Collective Agreement: Let’s Talk!
The JLP launches the fifth in its Empowering Conversations discussion series: Understanding the Collective Agreement: Let’s Talk!
The JLP workshop Understanding the Collective Agreement was one of the first to be offered to public service employees and their managers. With over 1,400 workshops delivered up until March 2020, it is no surprise that requests for it to be included in the virtual Empowering Conversation discussion series have continued throughout the pandemic.
The JLP is proud to offer the Understanding the Collective Agreement: Let’s Talk! discussion. This 3.5 to 4 hour discussion will improve relations between unionized employees and managers in the interpretation and application of collective agreements and help promote consistent application across the public service.
By the end of this discussion, participants will
- have identified the purpose and key features of the collective agreement
- be able to navigate the collective agreement comfortably
- be able to interpret and apply collective agreement language using a four-step approach
- have skills and tools to improve problem-solving and labour relations, in the workplace.
As with all other Empowering Conversations, Understanding the Collective Agreement: Let’s Talk! is designed for employees and their supervisors/managers of the same work teams with no more than 15 participants. It is designed to be held via videoconference or teleconference.
To host a facilitated discussion from the Empowering Conversations series, please submit a request on the JLP website or contact your local Regional Field Coordinators for more information.
