This webinar will prepare attendees to address emerging issues in the workplace\, such as artificial intelligence (“AI”) and remote work\, during bargaining. Specifically\, the panel will answer the following questions: \n\nWhat aspects of the use of AI\, such as algorithmic management\, should be addressed through bargaining and collective agreement language? Do standard “technological change” provisions effectively address concerns about the impact of AI on the workforce?\nHow can parties\, through bargaining\, tackle the privacy issues arising from the use of emerging technologies (e.g. GPS tracking\, video surveillance\, biometric scanning) in the workplace? What lessons can be learned from recent decisions regarding the monitoring and surveillance of employees?\nWhen will an employer’s return-to-office mandate or limitations on remote work violate a collective agreement? What features of remote or hybrid work arrangements have been specifically addressed in collective agreement provisions? What options\, other than remote or hybrid work\, should employers and unions consider during bargaining to address presenteeism and/or absenteeism?\nHow are employers and unions responding to hiring freezes\, layoffs\, or labour shortages? What steps can the parties take during bargaining to ensure that staffing and workloads are appropriate and the workplace is physically and psychologically safe?\nWhat are some examples of emerging leaves-benefits provisions? How should parties approach the bargaining of leaves and benefits?\n\nWhat steps are employers and unions taking to draft or review bargaining proposals and collective agreement language relating to equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (“EDI”)? \n\nModerator\n\n \nNajeeb Hassan\nMediator and Arbitrator\nNHLC Consulting Ltd \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n \nErin Delaney\nSolicitor\nGovernment of Newfoundland & Labrador \n\n\n \nEmily Home\nUnion Counsel\nUrsel Phillips Fellows Hopkinson LLP \n\n\n\nLive Webinar: \nAttend the session in real time and engage directly with the speakers. \nIncludes: \n\nDownloadable comprehensive reference materials researched by Lancaster House lawyers\nAccess to the live session\nOpportunity to ask the experts direct questions and participate in the chat with your peers\n\nOption: Live Webinar$295.00Add to cart \n \n \n\nBundle (Video\, MP3\, & Audio) \nGet the full live experience plus post-event resources for continued learning. \nIncludes: \n\nDownloadable comprehensive reference materials researched by Lancaster House lawyers\nAccess to the live session\nOpportunity to ask the experts direct questions and participate in the chat with your peers\nVideo recording of the session\nMP3 audio recording\nFull transcript\n\nOption: Live Webinar\, video\, and MP3 Bundle$595.00Add to cart \n \n \n\nWebinar On Demand \nAccess the session anytime\, at your convenience.
