Any type of union dispute or conflict can be transformed by effective conflict resolution techniques — between management and union or between union members. Our conflict resolution services for union disputes can help you resolve various conflicts with management, such disagreements over wage increases and disputes over working conditions. And, since internal conflicts can threaten your union’s solidarity and strength, we can help with conflicts between members, which can arise from issues such as personality clashes, competition for leadership positions or disagreement over union strategies.

Effective conflict resolution is so important for unions because it helps them build stronger unity — the source of a union’s power, and the key to getting better outcomes. Conflict resolution services and training in conflict resolution techniques can help your members overcome internal clashes that could threaten your union’s strength and solidarity, and this could be the key to amplifying your collective voice and doing more to secure a better future for all workers.
