Do they need “couples therapy” or can they work it out on their own? Pairs of panelists from both sides of the table will share their successes and challenges in creating and maintaining stable, productive and cooperative collective bargaining relationships as a means of avoiding and resolving labor disputes. Attendees will enjoy a stimulating discussion about the processes and results of negotiations and where they go from here.
