Labor Management Committee: Tips & Traps
Group Classes Via Zoom
Thursday, March 7, from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Labor Management Committees (LMCs) can be a useful strategy for representing members’ interests when new issues arise mid-contract. On the downside, LMCs can be a way for management to appear to listen without actually doing anything, tying up important issues in endless investigation/conversation. At their worst, LMCs can be utilized by management to delay or divide the union. No prior LMC experience is needed to participate in a 1.5-hour Zoom discussion on the tips and traps of LMCs.
