Collective bargaining in the post-recession, post-PEPRA, LCFF, LCAP, and post-Janus decision environment is, if not challenging, complex. In the best of times, there is no guarantee that settlements will come swiftly or that they are sure to align with the financial capability and program goals of the local educational agency. In difficult times, negotiations are often protracted and ripe with conflict.
In this session, will focus on the current economic and political environment and its impact on labor relations and bargaining, developing your agency’s bargaining strategy and approach, working with the board to develop bargaining parameters and goals, and what to expect if you find yourself at an impasse.
