Ninth National Labor-Management Conference

Call For Presentations

Planners for the Ninth National Labor-Management Conference, sponsored by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service and scheduled for April 7-9, 1998 in Chicago, Illinois, have issued a Call For Presentations. Labor and management practitioners, arbitrators, consultants and researchers are invited to submit responses, indicating an interest in making presentations to the conference in any of the following areas relating to joint union-management cooperative efforts in the private or public sector:

Establishment of a high-performance workplace
Unique results of any joint process
Innovative structure/function of a cooperative effort
Research results related to joint cooperation
Anatomy of a failed joint venture
"How to" set up, maintain or refine any variety of joint process
Role of the arbitrator in promoting cooperation
Legal impediments to joint initiatives, and how to overcome them
Federal sector cooperative programs
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Impact of cooperation on collective bargaining, and vice versa
Any other aspect of labor-management cooperation

The conference will address these areas in five tracks: Private Sector Initiatives, Public Sector Initiatives (State, County, Education), Federal Sector Initiatives, Research Initiatives and Outcomes, and Arbitration.

The National Labor-Management Conference has become the most successful labor relations event in the United States because of the involvement of the industrial relations public in planning and presenting the topics. All workshops are 75 minutes long and must focus on cooperation and innovations in unionized workplaces.

The deadline for submitting proposals is August 30, 1997. For further information, or to receive a response form, contact the Conference Coordinators, Toni Riley Jones at (202) 606-8150 or Peter Regner (202) 606-8181, or write:
