Massachusetts Municipal Human Resources will hold its annual Labor Relations Seminar on May 7 in Devens.
The seminar will open with a labor law update from attorneys Michael Maccaro and Madison Harris-Parks of Murphy, Hesse, Toomey & Lehane.
Rachel Shaw, owner of Rachel Shaw Inc., will lead a training session on mental health issues and the intersection of discipline and disability. With more than 15 years of executive-level HR experience, Shaw is recognized in California as a leader in helping public and private sector employers manage their most challenging personnel issues. Shaw spoke at MMHR’s labor relations seminar last October, on the topic of the ADA Disability Interactive Process.
In the afternoon, the MMA Legislative Director Dave Koffman will provide a legislative update, and attendees will participate in one of two breakout workshops:
• A session on succession planning presented by Joellen Cademartori, senior vice president at MGT
• A training session on navigating discipline in unionized environments, led by attorney Melissa Murray of Norris, Murray & Peloquin
