Want to maximize the union’s leverage in contract negotiations by organizing a contract committee, sometimes referred to as a Contract Action Team or CAT? A CAT is a representative group of local/unit activists who help to plan and implement both the contract negotiations and the contract campaign that accompanies the negotiations.

This workshop is designed for New York State bargaining unit (ASU, ISU, OSU, DMNA) officers and activists who have completed the basic State Government Discipline workshop. Participants will have an opportunity to review their role and employee rights, and practice their skills in preparing and representing members in interrogations under Article 33. Participants must complete this workshop and be appointed by their Local/Unit President to be certified to represent members in the disciplinary process. Please bring your contract to this workshop.
In this webinar, you will learn about the seven tests management must meet in order to discipline an employee.
