What is a labor relations representative?

As a labor relations representative, your main duties and responsibilities center around being an advocate on behalf of employees in a workplace, typically one that has been unionized. Your primary role is to engage in negotiation with management or the employer to collectively bargain for contracts and other union goals. You also help with the enforcement of these contracts or agreements to ensure that management is maintaining its deal with the workers. You also consult with rank and file workers and other union representatives to research and develop long-term strategies.
