The UAW Education Department will hold its Bargaining Boot Camp on May 4-9, 2025.
Registration deadline is March 25, 2025.
The conference will be held at the Walter and May Reuther UAW Family Education Center in Onaway, Michigan.
This conference will provide intense training for local union bargainers to sharpen their skills both at and away from the table. We will place emphasis not only on technique, but also on how to take a strategic organizing approach to bargaining strong contracts. Relevant training to fit the various sectors represented by the UAW will be provided.
Delegates will be assigned to attend a class track that best fits their level of experience with collective bargaining.
New bargainers will learn the important role of a local union bargainer, basic bargaining technique and strategy, and the basics of designing a contract campaign.
Experienced bargainers will receive a refresher on technique with a heavy emphasis on strategy. Delegates will participate in mock bargaining activities to practice taking a bargaining demand from concept to reality in the contract. We will practice identifying
members’ demands, drafting effective proposals, and mobilizing members to own their contract fights.
In addition to assigned core training, delegates will have the opportunity to choose from elective workshops designed to target skill development in their areas of interest.
