Successful collective bargaining requires that parties establish a trusting, positive working relationship based on good communication practices.  It also requires knowledge of collective bargaining laws and successful practices. 

TSS provides services that will help bargaining teams work together harmoniously and reach agreements that promote the district's program interests.

Our services assist the collective bargaining process through the following strategies:

• A review of collective bargaining agreements and recommendations for improving contracts between employees and the district


• An analysis of unresolved bargaining issues and assistance to resolve those issues


• Assistance to the District bargaining team or to both parties for resolving communication or relationship issues that have impeded negotiations


• Interest-based bargaining training for both negotiating teams to provide skills and strategies for successful results

Our labor relations services provide districts with guidance in refining the scope of agreements, drafting, and negotiating. We understand how to work with diverse groups of individuals and to bring divergent interests together to create best-practice solutions for our clients.
