Dear AFGE Activist,
Spring into learning with upcoming webinars! The Field Services & Education team has May webinar options ready and open for registration, including:
Introduction to Collective Bargaining | Monday May 17 (1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET): For the first time in several months, we’re offering our Introduction to Collective Bargaining webinar. This four-hour introductory webinar is aimed at members who are likely to be involved in the collective bargaining process at their local or council. We will discuss what can and cannot be bargained over under federal law, “good faith” bargaining, use of official time, information requests, and how to access additional relevant resources
E-Dues: Building Power | Tuesday, May 18 (8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET): Is your local interested in learning more about best practices for transitioning to E-Dues? This two-hour webinar outlines strategies for mobilizing teams, using workplace mapping to recruit with a purpose, and real examples of what has worked for other locals to successfully transition to E-Dues. This webinar is aimed at local leaders and stewards. If you have not already completed the Introduction to E-Dues self-paced online training, we recommend that you do so prior to the webinar; it takes about 15 minutes and is available at www.afge.org/edues.
NEW! Bargaining For Power NOW: Executive Order 14003 and Beyond | Wednesday May 19, (06:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. ET)
During this 2-hour webinar, Field Services and Education Director Marlin Jenkins, will review President Biden's Executive Order 14003. The subsequent guidance from OPM regarding the implementation and the opportunity to engage in bargaining on permissive topics will be discussed during this session.
Stewards Online Orientation | Friday, May 21 (1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET):
A must for new stewards (or stewards who never received formal training), this 4-hour webinar overviews the role of the steward, active worksite representation, and one of the most important laws that outlines the rights of union representatives: 5 USC Chapter 71.
“See” you in class!
In Solidarity,
AFGE
