  Grievance II

  4:00 pmReading High School

  The MTA staff from the Lynnfield field office will be presenting this follow-up to the November Grievance I training. Grievance I is not a requirement; any member is welcome to attend. The RTA has only rarely had grievances pass beyond the informal level, but having a trained grievance committee apart from the executive board would be a valuable improvement to local capacity.

  January 16, 2014 - 4:00 to 7:00 - Reading Memorial High School

  62 Oakland Road - Distance Learning Center, 4th Floor - Reading, MA 01867

  For the member who knows the basics (from either taking Grievance 1 or past experience) and is ready take the next step and become an advocate. Participants will leave this session with a deeper understanding of more complex skills associated with contract maintenance as well as when it is appropriate to utilize self-help methods for resolving issues that fall inside or outside of the contract. Topics covered in this advanced training include how to write grievances and present them to administrators and the basics of issue organizing. We will practice these skills with facts derived from actual cases and provide feedback to improve your skills.

  Additional training dates are available through other field offices.
