Federal labor law can be hard to understand and harder to apply. GPS makes it easy to navigate the system and create positive relations between management and the union.
LABOR/MANAGEMENT RELATIONS
"Excellent course. I am thankful for the opportunity to attend this course. It has greatly increased my awareness of how the labor-management process works."
Federal labor law is grounded in the adversarial system. GPS teaches how this system serves attorneys and specialists more than managers and employees. In GPS seminars, supervisors, managers, and union officials learn how to modify their interactions to better address issues that are most important to employees.
Cooperative relationships between Federal employee unions and agencies are more important than ever due to growing agency missions and shrinking resources. Both sides of the negotiating table are experiencing increased pressure and scarcity of resources. Neither should be wasting time and money on unnecessary bickering and/or litigating.
