By the end of the course\, participants will know how to use the grievance procedure and work with other representatives and attorneys to prepare an effective presentation before an arbitrator. \nCourse Style: After laying a foundation of the basic concepts\, each week the class will work through the steps leading to the hearing. \nInstructor: Sheila Mayberry is a full-time labor-management arbitrator and Chairwoman of the Maine Labor Relations Board.
