* Assertive Grievance Handling (a Labor Notes workshop)
Thurs. Mar. 21, 5-6:30pm
This workshop is for stewards and union leaders who work with stewards, not staff.
Fighting grievances isn’t only about how well you argue your case. It’s also about organizing members to build pressure on management. This workshop will focus on how to win creatively without going to arbitration—or sometimes without even filing a grievance.
