1-Hour Webinar
Collective bargaining requires far more than exchanging proposals across a conference table. HR leaders must understand which subjects require bargaining, which subjects may be negotiated voluntarily, and which proposals cannot lawfully become bargaining objectives. The webinar examines the statutory duty to bargain in good faith and explains why good faith does not require either party to agree or make concessions. Participants will learn how management prepares its bargaining team, evaluates operational priorities, develops proposals, establishes bargaining authority, and uses reliable data before negotiations begin. The program also introduces ground rules, tentative agreements, information exchange, bargaining strategy, and the legal significance of genuine impasse. Participants will leave with a practical executive framework for approaching collective bargaining as both a legal obligation and a major business process.
