Labor Unions and Continuous Learning
10 Jun 2011 Leave a Comment
Union involvement in continuous learning is most effective when it displays the following characteristics:
- Management policy actively invites and supports an important partnership role for the union.
- The collective agreement between management and labor defines their respective roles and establishes the lasting basis for cooperation.
- The parties act jointly in program control, planning, design, and direction of learning programs—at national, regional, and plant levels.
- Unions and workers participate fully in needs analysis and course-content decisions, and they share the responsibility for successful results.
- Instructors are selected from the regular work force. They are assigned equal status and full-time duties to develop content, deliver courses, and evaluate results.
- A jointly administered fund finances training programs and assures a long-term commitment to goals and objectives.
