Binghamton Food Service Members Attend Labor Relations Training
UPSEU members from Binghamton University Food Service Unit recently joined together with Sodexo managers for a first ever joint Labor Relations training. The class was administered by Scott Montani of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service and covered such topics as Effective Contract Administration, Effective Communications and Labor-Management Building, to name a few.
The training gave members and management an opportunity to see workplace issues from a different point of view through role playing and team building exercises. This class is a perfect lead in for our "Manager for a Day" program, whereby our members change jobs with managers for a day. The goal of this program is to give both labor and management a different perspective into the challenges that each side faces.
