Choose the right perspective
Match the consultant's in-house background, such as manufacturing, transportation or retail labor relations, to the kind of workforce and union you deal with. Ask whether they act as chief spokesperson at the table or advise your own negotiators from the side before you scope the engagement.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you build a bargaining strategy before the first session with the union?
- 02What role do you take at the table, and how do you work with our internal labor team?
- 03How do you cost union proposals and decide where to hold firm?
