Simon Fraser Universtiy Centre for Labour Studies Presents: BARGAINING FOR BETTER TIMES A seminar by Tom Walker Shorter Work Time Network (Vancouver chapter) Tuesday, June 23, 1998 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm Simon Fraser University Harbour Centre Campus Room #1410 515 West Hastings Street Vancouver, B.C. Unions and employers are both becoming more aware of the importance of bargaining around issues of working time. The renewed focus on the hours of work requires the use of new tools to discover common ground between labour and management and to clarify potential conflicts. In the Bargaining for Better Times seminar, participants will carry out an exercise that highlights the different ways that labour and management "frame" issues around work time. Tom Walker will then demonstrate a computer tool for examining the costs and benefits of alternative work arrangements. The seminar will wrap up with a discussion of the strategic implications of using the new tools and the challenges of introducing them into established collective bargaining processes. The Bargaining for Better Times seminar is based in part on research funded by the Institute for Humanities at SFU and in part on research conducted for the Telecommunications Workers Union.
