With the Royal Mail and Communication Workers Union both pointing the finger firmly at each other for the breakdown in negotiations and ensuing strike action, employers up and down the country are no doubt speculating about what they would do if they found themselves in the Royal Mail's shoes. The IRS masterclass on formal trade union negotiations, which takes place in London on 4 November 2009, will explore the practical side of how employers can be proactive in managing the negotiation process to a successful conclusion. We've put together a trade union negotiations resource pack to help XpertHR subscribers attending the event get the most out of it.
The resource pack includes, among other things:
- an analysis of the recent negotiating experiences and forthcoming priorities of a cross-section of Britain's trade unions;
- a four-part series of articles looking at various aspects of trade unions including an examination of the nature of the working relationship between trade unions and employers; and
- a series of trade union FAQs
The masterclass will include:
- an introduction to the essentials of formal trade union negotiation;
- best practice in running a negotiation: preparation, discussion, bargaining and concluding;
- running a failure to agree meeting;
- expert legal advice on the "rules" and legal status of trade union negotiations;
- how to conduct a failure to agree meeting;
- the opportunity to participate in a mock negotiation and practice the skills needed for actual negotiations; and
- what should a trade union strategy look like?
Don't forget that all XpertHR subscribers who book places on the IRS masterclass on formal trade union negotiations are entitled to a £50 discount per delegate. To claim this simply enter PZR27347 on the booking form.
