COSTING IN THE FEDERAL SECTOR

(TWO-PART LIVE WEBINAR)

MAY 14 - 15

10:00 AM - 1:30 PM EST

REGISTRATION FEE: $150

 

Costing is an essential tool for everyone at the bargaining table.  Costing a contract allows you to compare options, set priorities, make sensible proposals and evaluate trade-offs. Join two of FMCS’s most experienced mediators for a lively presentation, discussion and tutorial on this important topic.

 

This course consists of two 90 minute sessions. Session one includes review of basic math skills for estimating and under-standing costs, then, using case studies and hypotheticals, take a look at how parties can most constructively develop, share and use costing information to reach agreement. Additional examples will be provided as home- work. Session two will work through those homework examples, and provide opportunity for questions and explanation where needed. 

 

Instructors: FMCS Commissioners Larry Passwaters and Valerie Harragin

(LIVE WEBINAR)

JUNE 4

Whether you represent the employer or the union, collective bargaining is at the center of the labor/management relationship. Intentional Negotiations is a method of sweeping aside the traditional, adversarial process of proposal-based collective bargaining and committing to a process whereby the parties fully understand the problem to be solved, the concerns around those problems and feasible options that exist for resolution.


Instructor: FMCS Commissioner Jennifer Disotell
