Join the Washington Labor Education and Research Center for our Fall 2025 Public Series on Collective Bargaining! This complete Bargaining 101 Course covers all aspects of bold, energetic, member-driven contract campaigns. Over the course of five weeks, we'll cover legal frameworks, skills at the bargaining table, researching and preparing contract proposals, planning effective participatory contract campaigns, negotiation skills, opening up participatory bargaining, and much more!
This series will be held across 5 Thursdays from 6pm to 8pm, hybrid, both in-person at the Labor Center in Georgetown and online via Zoom. We encourage folks to register with their fellow union members! Meals and refreshments provided for in-person attendees.
