• Opening Statements
• Arbitrability, Subpoenas and Evidence Issues
• Strategies for Proper Witness Examination

Who Should Attend?

Labor and management representatives including union representatives, human resources professionals, attorneys, shop stewards, business agents, and individuals who assist advocates in the preparation and presentation of evidence for labor arbitration cases will find the information in this program invaluable.
