Episode Synopsis
Labour relations can be a delicate balance in the construction industry. Many factors influence how successful labour relations operates in construction; everything from economic conditions, to regional influences, to how a particular job is being run can impact workers and relationships between labour and management.
In this episode of OCS Talks we look at today’s construction labour relations landscape and how we are helping to prepare our member’s labour relations experts for future bargaining rounds.
