What is a Labor-Management Committee?
A labor-management committee is a working group that brings together leaders from labor and management within an agency, facility, or worksite to discuss and attempt to resolve issues of mutual concern.
Committees may be local, regional, statewide, or special topic committees, such as education and training, safety and health, Employee Assistance Program, or others. A committee is co-chaired by a CSEA leader and a NYS manager at the appropriate level.
Labor-Management Committee Training
Step One - Needs Assessment
The Labor-Management Services (LMS) Team provides a needs assessment prior to training. The assessment consists of two separate 90-minute sessions. The information that is gathered is used to create a customized training curriculum specific to the committee.
Step Two - Training
The customized training is for both new and experienced committee members. The training emphasizes building communication and problem-solving skills unique to the labor-management committee environment.
