Labour disputes – which disrupt productivity and production – are best addressed and resolved at an early stage. The ACF has developed a training program which focuses on providing employers and workers with the skills necessary to establish and maintain harmonious labour relations by encouraging communication, prevention and resolution of workplace disputes on the work floor.
Who should attend
This program is designed for union leaders, human resources managers or supervisors, shop stewards and worker and employer representatives. The program consists of three modules – each with required attendance for 8 hours. The modules will be taught over three months, to allow participants time to practice their learning.
Upon completion of the training course, trainees will be given a certificate of participation issued by the ACF. Trainees must attend all three topics in order to receive the certificate of participation.
