Collective Bargaining ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

In the Collective Bargaining course, we will study the roles of all of the participants in the proceedings- both union and management, and the roles of those in authority they are responsible to, the bargaining committee’s responsibility to their constituents, and what kind of effect those constituents can have on the outcome of bargaining. Among the topics that will be explored will be the law as it effects the bargaining process, the duty to bargain, different tactics in bargaining, impasses, strike, and lockouts, management rights, union rights and responsibilities, costing out of contracts, the mediation and arbitration processes, dispute resolution procedure, basic labor law, and the history of labor unions in this country. It is also only offered in-class at the college’s Harry J. Van Arsdale Jr. School for Labor Studies in New York City. Prerequisites: None Corequisites: None This course is offered as part of union partnership programs and is open to non-partnership students subject to availability.
