Work life as we know it has changed dramatically over the past two years. A host of factors, including COVID-19, enhanced attention to diversity, equity and inclusion, increased use of hybrid work models has challenged many longstanding assumptions about the employment relationship. This has led to changes in employee activism as well as their expectations of the employee experience. Given these trends, it is not surprising that a recent CAHRS survey found that collective action and changing labor relations are high on the list of priorities for HR leaders in 2022. CAHRS is offering opportunities to dive deeper into this topic and help our partner companies address these challenges and explore how peer companies are thinking about their practices in this area.

In this webcast, Harry C. Katz, the Jack Sheinkman Professor of Collective Bargaining and Director of the ILR Schools Scheinman Institute, will share his thoughts regarding recent developments in labor relations and collective actions in the workplace. Key issues he will cover include:

What is behind the recent uptick in organizing and strike activity?
How are management and unions addressing this?
What rights do non-union workers engaging in collective actions have and how is management dealing with those situations?
What are companies doing to build a stronger internal bench given the rise in these challenges?

There will be an opportunity for attendees to share their own perspectives and ask questions during the webcast.
