One of the oldest conferences in U.S.
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. (May 11, 2016) — The 34th annual Labor-Management Conference will be held May 17 at Northern Kentucky University’s Highland Heights campus.
“The NKU Labor-Management Conference was started 34 years ago as a peaceful means to bring together members of the labor relations community to discuss current issues and discuss successful cooperation strategies,” said Mike Carrell, director of NKU’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Center. “It is one of the oldest conferences in the country, and under the continuous leadership of Louis Manchise over all 34 years, it grew into the fourth largest conference in the nation.”
Featured keynote speakers are: Allison Beck, director of Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services; Douglas Recktenwald, assistant fire chief, Louisville; Brian O’Neill, president of Louisville Professional Firefighters; Michael Duco, deputy director of the Office of Collective Bargaining, Ohio; and Christopher Mabe, president of Ohio Civil Service Employees Association.
Workshops will cover the most important issues facing labor-management relations and employment today. Topics include legal updates, workforce challenges and climate, public sector challenges, NLRB/SERB developments, and dispute resolution mechanisms. CLE (Kentucky, Ohio and Ethics) and SHRM credits are pending.
The conference will recognize the recipient of the Lifetime Achievements Award and Shelbi Desalvo as the recipient of the Human Resource Management Student Award.
