Volunteer Engagement in Unionized Environments
Registration fee: $50 (Free for Paid Subscribers)

If your organization is a unionized environment, volunteers may play a specific role in the Collective Bargaining Agreement(s) in place. In this 90-minute, interactive session, we'll take a look at labour practices and how they connect with volunteer engagement and unions. The session will explore the intersection of volunteers, volunteer engagement professionals, and union member staff, along with understanding the language and implication of Collective Bargaining Agreements. We'll also look at real-life dilemmas and case studies to help you navigate challenges and opportunities at your organization. 

You'll leave this 90-minute webinar with:

• A history of volunteer engagement in unionized environments, and impacts on today's workplaces
• An understanding of unpaid labour, decent work, and the connection with unions
• Tools for effective and beneficial communication with union locals
• Tips to understand and properly abide by Collective Bargaining Agreements in place
