In this webinar, you will gain insights into the:
- Recent awards and trends of wage increases
- Expectations and trends in bargaining and approaches unions are taking within the sector
- Trends towards going into interest arbitration
- General principles of excluding positions from bargaining units
- Bargaining pressures amid limited 2026/27 funding increases
- Sector interest in ONA Charter challenge developments
