This training is an introductory course that is ideal for practitioners who want to learn how to properly and timely submit filings to the Authority as part of a negotiability dispute.  The training covers differences between bargaining-obligation and negotiability disputes; how and when to involve the FLRA; parties’ respective filing burdens; common procedural issues; and the role of alternative dispute resolution in the negotiability process.  This training does not teach bargaining techniques.

In the event of a Government shutdown, and depending on the length of any such shutdown, the training may be held on an alternate to-be-determined date.
