LM-2 Requirements is five-day workshop designed to provide effective tools, with  hands-on time in the computer lab for union members, officers and staff to develop proficiency with Quick Books as it relates to the new LM-2 Informational Requirements. New Union Staff focuses on developing the personal skills and critical thinking needed to function effectively in the many different roles of a union staff member. The course will also improve planning skills needed to manage contract negotiations, run organizing campaigns, and participate in running a local union. To provide a better understanding of the new staff member's role, the course will review the basic structure, operation, and goals of various labor unions. Staff members from a number of different unions in attendance will enrich the discussions, presentations, exercises, class participation, and feedback.
