In this modern era, the largest unions in the United States represent public sector employees. In this session, we will discuss basic legal and common law long-standing contract principles and how they are uniquely applied to collective bargaining agreements. We will address the myths and reality of commonly used and often misused terms like “past practices” and see how they provide a basis to understand and resolved labor contract disputes.
