Labour Agreement Negotiations

To succeed in collective bargaining it is important that negotiators correctly identifies important objectives and interest of parties by planning and carefully strategizing to achieve desired outcomes. It is also critical that there is an effective governance and approval structure as well as ensuring that negotiations are conducted with the right team both at the bargaining table and behind the scenes. Failure to pay adequate attention to these essentials, can lead to stalled or failed negotiations and possibly less than ideal eventual results.

With our solid experience in both the private and public sectors and across multiple regional jurisdictions, we can provide the following services to assist with all elements of collective bargaining:

  • Bargaining Mandate drafting and negotiation preparations
  • Training and empowering bargaining teams
  • Ensuring that the right decisions are made at the right time, to achieve the best possible results
  • Act as Chief Negotiator
  • Be a strategic resource/advisor outside of the bargaining table.
  • Draft Collective Agreements to embody the settlements reached by the parties.
  • Represent clients at conciliation or arbitration should the need arise

Our approach to collective bargaining is to build sustainable and effective relations between unions, managers, employees, management executives and other interested stakeholders through open, two-way communication, transparency to the extent appropriate, and demonstrating respect throughout the negotiation process.
