Collective Bargain 7/6

The most interesting part from today was listening to the guest speaker. Tom McLaughlin was extremely informative. I enjoyed listening to his thought process when it comes to the "teacher" side of the bargaining process. The major points I took from Tom were:
- know your bargaining agreement
- avoiding problems
- TRS changes
- mediation for teachers

The afternoon session was the start of the bargaining process. In the little time we had in the afternoon - Hostile! I can see why experience matters in negotiating contracts. Our groups struggled with the ground rules. Going through the process, I am learning how important roles are.
