Collective Bargaining

Because Sibson is the only national human resources consulting firm that maintains a practice devoted to collective bargaining, our consultants understand the pressures that our clients face at the bargaining table. College and university leaders must often negotiate with multiple unions who represent employees with vastly different interests. When considering the difficult fiscal pressures, it is not surprising that higher education negotiations are complex and sometimes unduly adversarial.

We provide assistance in a host of total compensation issues to support the collective bargaining process. More importantly, our collective bargaining consultants have particular expertise in facilitating change in collaborative labor-management environments at both public-sector and private educational institutions.

In short, we help colleges and universities solve complicated problems in a constructive, outcome-oriented way.
