Session 4 – Human Resources and Collective Bargaining: What Elected Officials Need to Know
This session covers the core HR functions elected officials intersect with, including hiring, evaluations, discipline, and workplace standards. We outline what is appropriate for elected officials to influence and what stays with management. We then walk through the fundamentals of collective bargaining: legal framework, timelines, mandatory subjects, and the governing body’s role in setting parameters. Participants learn how decisions on wages, benefits, and staffing levels affect long-term finances and operations. Real examples show how poor communication derails negotiations and how clear direction helps the process stay focused and productive.
