I posted to the Labor group, but I'm a new union member who just found out she's also

the new building rep. (Seriously, there only two of us in the group, and the other one has a second job.)
I'm supposed to get my negotiation training in late October, but the board sent me a letter of intent to negotiate in mid-September. I'm trying to get that moved.

If anyone has negotiating pointers, I'm all ears. I'm working on reaching out to the rest of the support staff to see if there are any concerns, or interest in joining the union, so if if you have any selling points, those would be great, too!

TIA!

Context might help? Labor contract negotiation. Mediation w mananagement for union members? Id search out books once you have the correct phrasing and subject specifics.
Main issue w negotiations you have to leave a way out for the other side. Something even trivial so they can save face. It's very similar to sales, do the trial close, anchoring and so on. Also ask personal questions to try and get some commonality with them. As the other side are employees just not in the union.
