Front-line workers and managers at UMass Memorial Hospital are using the power of partnership to expand quality health care for their patients and create a better work environment.

During this Teacher Appreciation Week, the Labor-Management Partnership Program is spotlighting CTechEd.

We interviewed Joye Blanscett, the Executive Director of Operations for SMACNA, and Donna Silverman, Assistant to the General President for SMART, about their experiences with Partners in Progress.

We sat down to interview Jamaine “G” Gibson and Lisa Vickery about their experiences with Joint Workforce Investment.

A Labor-Management Partnership Forum, sometimes referred to as a labor-management committee, serves a valuable purpose by allowing management and workers to sit down together and collaborate on important issues. However, like any recurring meeting, over time they can become stale or even feel counterproductive.

At the Department of Labor’s Office of Labor-Management Standards, we’re committed to advancing labor-management transparency while ensuring workers have a voice in their workplaces.
