Managing Labor-Management Conflict

The global pandemic exposed and created systemic conflict throughout our society. Nowhere is this more obvious than in our workplaces. Employers, unions, and other stakeholders have identified substantial increases in the conflict between and among employees and employers on issues such as remote work, staffing, racial and gender justice, workplace violence, health and safety, benefits, and pay, to name just a few. Recent trends show high public support for unions along with increased organizing, strikes, and other action by workers, which highlight a growing need and desire for effective ways to address workplace conflicts.

This 90-minute webinar provides management and union leaders the opportunity to come together to hear from national leaders on the current and future trends in workplace conflict and engage in discussion on how to use the labor-management relationship to address them.
