“We reached a tentative agreement in 6 days of bargaining! We spent more time talking at the table than we did the entire 6 months of bargaining last round. The union thanked the city for bringing in your training, as it was instrumental."
Janice Mullins, Director of Corporate Services, Mt. Pearl NL
The All-Sides Difference
Training for management and union leaders. Together.
Most labour relations training is aimed at one side. The LR Academy is designed for both, and builds union/management relationships during the workshops themselves. While separate sessions can be arranged, our training creates effective partnerships.
The Delivery Team
The most experienced labour relations facilitation team in Canada.
Every facilitator and coach brings decades of frontline experience across bargaining, leading the union/management relationship in many different workplaces, mediation and workplace training. Every participant receives permanent access to the team — long after the program ends.
