We will be covering the following:

2. Types of behaviour in conflict: Learn the types of behaviour and tactics that management may display and how to effectively counteract it

3. Progressive Discipline

4. Leading Arbitration Case analysis and how it can assist you in your discussions with management

Directly after the training, there will be a Local Meeting which we encourage everyone to attend. You will learn of the resources available to you within your Local and meet your Local Executive.

This all-day training will give Local 403 Stewards a chance to review some of the basics and get a more in-depth training in grievance filing and timelines. We will spend the day on these topics and have time to talk about some of your workplace issues too.
