He has pioneered the use of joint training. Then Professor Robert McKersie, Sloan School of Management and his co-presenter, Nancy Peace, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Education Partnership and an experienced labor mediator and arbitrator, will be talking about joint training for labor and management bargaining teams. Professor Larry Susskind from MIT will serve as the moderator. Several members of the Pedagogy Initiative will be asked to comment.
