Public Sector Town Hall: Collective Bargaining

Public-sector collective bargaining in Wisconsin is becoming even more challenging. The inflationary economic environment, the significant restraints on revenue generation for local government, the hiring challenges in this highly competitive marketplace, and the looming recession all present unique challenges that government employers must consider when preparing for collective bargaining negotiations for successor agreements. This Town Hall discussion will help government officials, administrators, human resources professionals, and department heads understand this collective bargaining landscape and navigate many of these challenges before you engage in collective bargaining this fall, and give participants the opportunity to ask questions of our team.

During this Town Hall, we will focus on preparations for bargaining, methodical management-focused analysis of your agreements, and comparability analysis of internal and external wages and benefits, all of which are essential tasks to achieving a good voluntary settlement.
