UTHS Collective Bargaining Conference

On February 11th, 2010 QCALM provided a Collective Bargaining Conference for 60 UTHS students at the Butterworth Center located in Moline, IL.  The purpose of the conference is for the students to experience the collective bargaining process. The students prepared by studying about a fictitious Company and Union before they commenced bargaining. The students were divided into teams of ten, five taking the role of management and five taking the roll of labor. 
There was a labor and management coach for each team, made up of QCALM’s Labor and Management members. Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service (FMCS) provided commissioners to the students to help them reach an impasse on issues if they struggled.
