It will also include substantive, “how-to” discussions of at least the five most important bargaining topics, e.g., pay-for-performance, promotions, union institutional issues, AWS, flexiplace, etc. Special FELTG guest, Frank Ferris, has over 35 years experience in federal sector labor relations as a union leader, manager, and university faculty member. He holds a doctorate from the University of Southern California and has published extensively in the field. He serves as the elected National Executive Vice President of the National Treasury Employees Union.  The author’s 2009 book, Collective Bargaining Law for the Federal Sector, critiques FLRA case law and provides advice on how to bargain more effectively using case law.
• Friday, June 11 — Peter Broida and William Wiley. Arbitration under Collective Bargaining Agreements: This new offering covers all the basics of labor arbitration, including a brief history and a live demonstration of arbitration.  This training has been designed for agency and union attorneys and representatives, ER and HR specialists, and focuses exclusively on labor arbitration in the federal sector.
