Event Details

National PELRA, with the support of Illinois PELRA that developed, designed and wrote the program by negotiators to simulate the mechanics of bargaining, is pleased to bring to Richmond - for everyone - the Simulated Bargaining program. This 3-day, 2-night immersive program will simulate hard lessons learned at the negotiation table. Participate in this collective bargaining program and gain valuable practical experience in negotiating a contract under the instruction and guidance of skilled negotiators with extensive real-world experience.

  • Each participant will be assigned a role on a bargaining team (either management or union) and given background information regarding the parties involved in negotiations.
  • Each bargaining group will be assigned a Facilitator (who is an experienced negotiator) to help guide them through the bargaining sessions.
  • Training workshops will also be presented throughout the exercise and the Trainer, attorney Robert Smith, will also be available to assist the teams as they progress through the various stages of  bargaining.
