Collective Bargaining Orientation

About the Program:
A must-attend for new bargainers! SMACNA's 2025 Collective Bargaining Orientation (CBO) will allow participants to gain a much better understanding of the bargaining process, and the confidence needed to bargain effectively and efficiently. In addition to this session, CBO will continue to provide chapter executives and contractors that are entering negotiations with: 

• Basic legal advisement on collective bargaining in the construction industry 
   
• Guidance on preparing to bargain 
   
• Updates on industry settlements and trends

SMACNA encourages young contractors, new chapter executives, and new negotiating and bargaining committee members to attend this two-day workshop to help ensure their future collective bargaining success.
