The Labor Relations and Negotiation Service provides a wealth of services and can customize an offering to meet a district’s needs. The main components of this service are research, negotiations, personnel and contract administration. We provide an analysis of existing labor contracts, comparison of contract language, and a database for comparing salaries and benefits for regional teacher, non-instructional, administrative and assistant superintendent employee groups. In addition, our dedicated team of attorneys provides consultation on employee matters that involve the ADA, FMLA, FLSA, seniority, tenure and discrimination; assists with labor-related issues, grievance administration, developing counter-proposals to union demands; and provides in-service training on a variety of labor issues. The service also conducts employee misconduct and/or harassment/discrimination investigations upon district request.
The charge for this service is aidable for districts that qualify for BOCES aid.
