The speakers were very informative today. It was wonderful that Mr. McLaughlin let us ask him questions. It was interesting that he never took his union hat off. Two key points I noticed from the presentation were to be totally prepared for negotiations before they begin and make sure all contract language is crystal clear. I appreciated the slides on interview questions. I felt they were excellent questions to ask. It is important to know this type of information when you are making a decision about accepting a position in a district.
I believe that IBB is truly the way to go if at all possible. This opinion was secured during the several exercises we completed in class. This process allows everyone to have a voice in the negotiations. Positive outcomes can result from this type of bargining. This explains why IBB is also called a win-win process.
Good analysis of the day. I think IBB is the way to go, but it takes work and trust.
