This four-day seminar is designed for union representatives responsible for preparing and presenting arbitration cases. Class sessions will emphasize the skills necessary to analyze cases, prepare a presentation, and conduct the hearing. Topics will include the legal framework of arbitration, standards of discipline, theory of the case, preparation and use of witnesses, evidence, and how to cut arbitration costs. All participants will take part in a videotaped mock arbitration simulation that is presented before practicing arbitrators.
» Welcome to LERC!
Since its inception in 1977, the Labor Education and Research Center at the University of Oregon has made the resources and expertise of the higher education system available to workers, unions, policy makers, and community partners throughout Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
We are committed to improving the lives of working Oregonians and enhancing their ability to participate effectively in workplace and community affairs. We believe that the presence of a strong union movement not only provides workers with vital protections but also is essential to maintaining a just and democratic society.
