SUMMARY:Effective Grievance Handling and Arbitration Advocacy: Intensive training for employers and unions\, Toronto
DESCRIPTION:Program Faculty\n\n \nSarah Crossley\nEmployer Counsel\nFilion Wakely Thorup Angeletti LLP \n\n\n \nBrian Etherington\nArbitrator \n\n\n \nLewis Gottheil\nUnion Lawyer and Educator \n\n\nProgram DetailsWhile arbitration of a grievance tends to be viewed as “the main event\,” the procedure leading up to arbitration should not be neglected. Employer and union representatives should cultivate the skills and knowledge necessary to resolve grievances early\, before expensive and unpredictable arbitration is necessary. Of course\, not every grievance can be settled without arbitration. When arbitration is necessary\, both employer and union representatives need to be able to effectively mount a successful grievance arbitration case or to give maximum assistance to counsel. \nOver the course of this two-day session\, leading employer and union counsel and one of Canada’s foremost arbitrators will lead participants in interactive discussion of strategies for settling grievances before arbitration and explain how to win cases when arbitration is necessary. \nWorking through a realistic grievance with the guidance of experts\, participants will learn to: \n\nPrepare effectively for formal grievance meetings;\nDetermine which grievances should go to arbitration;\nIdentify key issues\, strengths\, and weaknesses of a grievance;\nAddress preliminary issues\, such as timeliness;\nObtain and provide appropriate disclosure;\nPrepare\, examine\, and cross-examine witnesses;\nMake persuasive opening and closing statements.\n\nTuesday\, December 12\, 2023Breakfast: 8:30 am – 9:00 am ET \nProgram: 9:00 am – 4:00 am ET \nWednesday\, December 13\, 2023Breakfast: 8:30 am – 9:00 am ET \nProgram: 9:00 am – 4:00 am ET \nCPD\n\n\n \nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 11 Continuing Professional Development hours. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis program has been approved for 11 Continuing Professional Development hours under Section A3 of the Recertification Log of the Human Resource Professionals Association.\nThis program has been approved by the Law Society of Saskatchewan for 11 Continuing Professional Development hours.\nMembers of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society may consider counting this program for 11 Continuing Professional Development hours.

SUMMARY:Intensive Mediation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In association with:Upon completion of this program\, participants will receive a certificate of completion and a digital credential from Toronto Metropolitan University. \nProgram Leader\nDaphne Taras\nDean\, Ted Rogers School\nToronto Metropolitan University \nThis intensive professional learning program is designed to develop the advanced dispute resolution skills that labour relations professionals need in order to be successful in their roles. Participants will have the opportunity to observe dispute resolution techniques used by experienced professional mediators — and to use those techniques as they attempt to resolve a workplace dispute. To make the simulation as realistic as possible\, professional actors will play the role of the aggrieved party. \nAimed at labour relations professionals with basic to intermediate knowledge of mediation and workplace dispute resolution techniques\, this session aims not to create professional mediators but to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to: \n\nDefuse tensions and manage workplace conflict\,\nResolve grievances without resorting to lengthy and expensive arbitration processes\, and\nMake effective use of informal and formal mediation as a management or union representative.\n\nWho is this program designed for? \n\nLabour relations professionals with 3 or more years of experience working full-time for an employer or a union\, including:\n\nHuman resources professionals\,\nLabour relations officers\,\nLocal union leadership\,\nManagers\, and\nUnion staff\n\n\nLabour and employment lawyers in their first 5 years of practice\nGraduates of the Lancaster House–Toronto Metropolitan University Labour Relations Certificate Program\n\nTo ensure interactivity as well as opportunities for skill-building and personalized feedback\, spaces in this program are extremely limited. We hope you’ll join us. \nIntensive Mediation Workshop CPD\n\nThis program has been approved for 6.5 Continuing Professional Development hours per session under Section A3 of the Recertification Log of the Human Resources Professionals Association.\n\n\nThis program has been approved by CPHR Alberta for 6.5 Continuing Professional Development hours.\n\n\n \n\nMembers of the Law Society of New Brunswick may consider counting this program for 6.5 Continuing Professional Development hours per session.
