LABOR RELATIONS AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

A survey of the organizational and economic aspects of management/employee relationships. The main topics include a historical review of the American labor movement, an overview of the social, instructional and organizational frameworks within which the collective bargaining process occurs, and techniques of labor/management dispute management. Theories and principles of collective bargaining will be covered, and a mock bargaining session will be held to provide a “hands on” approach to bargaining.
