E88 - Collective Bargaining with Big Ed

The Uncommon Communicator

The Uncommon communicator is the individual that has the enlightenment to recognize in any situation whether communication has occurred. This uncommon communicator takes ownership of the conversation and possesses the skills to navigate and facilitate the conversation to mutual understanding.

Welcome to the Uncommon Communicator podcast where we bring enlightenment to the topic of communication.

Ed Gable has been my long time brother, I feel like I have known him all my life. Along with being family and my big brother we also shared the family trade of Millwright. Ed has went on through the apprenticeship and after being a Journeyman, he decided to get into Union Leadership. We both share a love of Communication, influence and negotiation. As a Union representative he understands the ins and outs of collective bargaining, but also carries enough tactical empathy to listen to and understand all sides of the table.

What is Collective bargaining?

Collective bargaining is a negotiation process in which a group of workers, often represented by a labor union, chooses a representative to advocate for better terms of employment.

This representative undertakes negotiations on their behalf.

Pros:

Gives workers a larger voice.

Improves quality of life

Encourages Cooperation

Cons:

Has the potential to not fully represent the group.

To collectively bargain in a personal situation, you become the spokesman or representative.

It’s better to have one clear voice in a situation, someone that can remain calm and communicate clearly and concisely.

The UC Moment for today is ……

Use your skills to collectively bargain and advocate for those around you.
