A major goal of the Board is to offer extensive educational and research services to labor relations practitioners to more effectively promote productive labor relations. Toward that end, the Board issues publications for the use of the parties that come before it, conducts training sessions, sponsors labor relations conferences and continues to update its website.
The Board continues its participation in the Association of Labor Relations Agencies (“ALRA”), the association of impartial government agencies and private non-profit agencies in the United States and Canada responsible for administering labor relations laws or services. The Board also continues its involvement in the New England Consortium of State Labor Relations Agencies. Staff and Board members have attended conferences hosted by each of these organizations to receive current information in the labor relations field.
