Supervisor Speaker Series 2016 - Collective Bargaining Agreements
The 2016 Supervisor Speaker Series is a series of workshops designed to address the most pressing issues that our supervisors face on a daily basis. Supervisors and staff who provide support to HR functions may attend any or all of the workshops throughout the year to help develop skills as a supervisor.

In this seminar, Liz Gierbolini will discuss the current Staff (AFSCME) and GA collective bargaining agreements in place at USF. She'll highlight specific passages within the agreements that impact terms and conditions of employment for USF employees covered by these agreements. If you hire and/or supervise Staff or GA employees whose positions are covered under these CBA's, you'll want to attend. Knowing the basics of these agreements is essential in the workplace.
